CONTENT Film Festival and Media Summit

CONTENT is a five-day Christian media conference and film festival held each September at Capernaum Studios in Poolville, in Parker County northwest of Fort Worth; the studio was a filming location for the first season of The Chosen. Run by Tim and Michelle Shields, it combines hands-on training workshops, coaching and networking for filmmakers, actors, writers and podcasters with a film and screenplay competition that ends in an awards ceremony. Categories cover theatrical and non-theatrical features, shorts, biblical and justice films, and feature, short and TV scripts. A 2026 edition was held, with winners posted on its site; the 2027 conference runs September 20–24, with FilmFreeway deadlines from December 31, 2026 to April 2, 2027.
