About Gospel Films Archive
Gospel Films Archive began in 2012 as a collaboration between three friends—who also happened to be specialists in film preservation: Bob Campbell, Ron Hall, and Derek Meyers. These three learned of many untapped resources for thousands of long-neglected faith-based films from the past century. Thus began their mission to track down, rescue and preserve as many such forsaken religious films and television shows as possible. Bob was co-creator/producer of "Matinee at the Bijou" (1980-88) one of PBS's most popular series. Ron is the founder-owner of Festival Films, a 45-year-old media company that specializes in providing vintage films and TV shows to DVD, TV stations, and on demand streaming platforms. Derek is a TV industry veteran and founder-owner of Myers Memories. He has been collecting 16mm original films for over 30 years and has a knack for ferreting out lost and rare religious content.
