Frequently Asked Questions

---

A: We are a purpose-driven company dedicated to producing high-quality, family-oriented content across various genres. Our mission is to amplify stories of faith, hope, and purpose that respect Christian values and offer an alternative to media containing graphic language or excessive violence.

A: After our debut feature was deemed 'too niche' by a major media company despite its high quality, we were inspired to create our own global Video-on-Demand platform. This allows us to reach a global audience of over 2.4 billion Christians and like-minded viewers in 180+ countries directly.

This was the best 'NO' we could have received; it allowed us to retain our Intellectual Property (IP) and become the worldwide distributor of our own film. By reaping these greater financial rewards, we can now invite the community to share in our global income, an opportunity that would not have been possible otherwise. We aren't just making a movie; we are building an empire. History reminds us that rejection often fuels greatness, just as Ferruccio Lamborghini turned a dismissal by Ferrari into the creation of an iconic brand.

A: The company is led by Robert Benjamin, a veteran with over 30 years of industry experience, and Desiree Christians, a creative producer.

A: The movie follows Paul Taylor, a man who loses everything and takes a teaching post at a reform school to understand the criminal minds of children. There, he is confronted by the supernatural reality of ministering angels and must decide whether to walk with the power of the universe.

A: The film was completed in September 2025 and is scheduled for a global release in 2026.

A: The cast features acclaimed South African and international talent, including Keenan Arrison (the lead in South Africa’s 2026 Oscar entry), Sello Maake Ka-Ncube, Brümilda van Rensburg, Ofentse Rakololo, Schelaine Bennett, and Elsje Slabbert.

To capture the profound personal history and the technical specifics of your productions, here are additional FAQs based on the "Director’s Journey" and the "Project Details" you provided.

A: Director Robert Benjamin describes Angels: They Are Amongst Us as a "calling from God." The project was born from a series of spiritual encounters starting in 2003, including a divine question: "Are you prepared to lose everything for my name’s sake?" Over a 21-year journey of testing, loss, and restoration, the film was brought to life as a testimony of faith.

A: Yes. Robert Benjamin’s conviction is based on personal experiences, including witnessing angels guarding his home. He views them as messengers and warriors sent by God—our access to the supernatural world granted through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

A: The film explores the spiritual world (the proximity of angels to humanity) and the natural world (universal challenges like the desire to belong, hardship, romance, finding purpose, and redemption). It poses the dramatic question: Is God and His Angels real?

A: The journey spanned 21 years from the initial inspiration in 2003 to the completion of post-production in September 2025. It survived government funding failures, health challenges, and personal hardships, which Robert Benjamin describes as the "refiner's fire."

A: The film features a powerful orchestral score and a custom rap track titled "Angels Angels." A defining moment in the film is the use of the gospel song "Stay" by William McDowell, which the director credits for sustaining him during his darkest moments.

 A: 

• Runtime:     2 hours and 9 minutes.
• Format:     Digital, 16:9 Aspect Ratio.
• Language:     English.

A: Our custom VOD platform is designed to reach over 180 countries. We use an initial 48-hour pay-per-view model, with proceeds directly funding future Studio RSA productions.

A: Robert is a veteran filmmaker with over 30 years of experience (starting in 1992). He has written and produced several features, including The Ghost (1998) and Lost Souls (2000), both of which premiered on M-Net. Throughout his career, he has worked as a 1st Assistant Director, Line Producer, and Executive Producer on both local and international sets.

A: Desiree is a creative producer who began her journey in the 90s. She worked as an Assistant Director on local and international productions before becoming a Creative Producer at Studio RSA Films. She co-developed the story for Angels: They Are Amongst Us alongside Robert Benjamin.

A: While "RSA" represents our roots in the Republic of South Africa, our vision is global. The company was founded on the conviction that faith-based, high-quality content can be produced in South Africa and exported to a worldwide audience of billions.

A: This model allows us to keep the initial viewing affordable while generating the immediate capital necessary to fund our next slate of productions. It offers a "theatre-at-home" experience for families globally.

A: Yes. Our long-term vision includes a transition to an affordable subscription model. This will provide our community with ongoing access to premium, value-based content from worldwide creators without the high monthly fees of traditional streaming giants.

A: Yes. As we grow, our platform will expand to include high-quality, family-value content from like-minded writers, directors, and producers worldwide who find themselves "niche" in the eyes of mainstream Hollywood.

A: Inspired by true events, Shadows is a sweeping historical drama/spy thriller that unfolds over 46 years. It explores the complexity of loyalty in a harsh third-world country, rooted in a bond between two friends that began in 1947. The screenplay is complete and ready for production.

A: This is a faith-based drama currently in development. It follows a teenage girl named Jenny who finds an unlikely protector in a lion. The story is a deep exploration of spiritual connection, human mortality, and seeking peace through God during times of loss.

A: It means we reject the casual denigration of faith often seen in modern media. We produce films that honor Christian values and prove that compelling storytelling does not require graphic language or explicit content to be successful.

A: We view it as a catalyst. With nearly one-third of the world’s population identifying as Christian, we believe the demand for faith-based content is "mass market," not "niche." We are following the example of icons like Lamborghini—turning Ferrari's rejection into a drive to build something superior and independent.

 A: Don’t worry! We automatically extend your window to a 90-day rolling period. This gives you three full months to engage your community and reach the goal. If the target isn't reached after 90 days, the specific campaign expires so we can refresh our systems for future projects. 

 A: Transparency is our priority. Every time someone clicks your link or uses your code, it is logged by our third-party facilitator. You can view these "Clicks" and "Confirmed Sales" by requesting to view your sales.

A: International wire transfers involve several banks (sending, intermediary, and receiving). Rather than charging a sign-up fee to join our program, we use the international "BEN" standard, where the banking costs are simply deducted from the commission earned. This ensures the program remains zero-risk for you to join. 

A: Once you hit the 250-referral milestone, your disbursement is triggered. Due to the nature of global VOD reporting and international banking cycles, payments typically arrive in your account within a 60-to-90-day window.

 A: Yes! The film is available in over 180 countries. However, please note that our platform is currently unavailable in China, Crimea, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and parts of Ukraine due to regional restrictions. 

A: We recommend framing it as a "Watch-a-Thon"or a "Movie Night for a Cause." Tell them: "Enjoy a world-class film for $4.99, and 10% of that goes directly to our mission."It’s an easy way for them to support you while getting something back in return.
