What’s more, they did it all on a shoestring, totally independently, with no studio to back them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the height of their frenzied career, Ron and June experienced a spiritual awakening when their private plane crashed on the way to a premiere. From then on, they turned their back on secular show business to produce a series of shocking, surreal religious pictures, including an unbelievable trio of films for Mississippi Baptist preacher Estus Pirkle – films such as \u003cem\u003eThe Burning Hell\u003c\/em\u003e, which made millions, despite never being shown in an actual movie theatre.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduced by Powerhouse Films in association with byNWR, and released to coincide with FAB Press’ publication of forensic biographer Jimmy McDonough’s awe-inspiring tome on the extraordinary life and work of the Ormond Family, this strictly limited, individually numbered Blu-ray box set contains thirteen feature films, a host of new and archival extra features – including five new audio commentaries and a collection of rarely seen short films – as well as a set of art cards and a fully illustrated 100-page book, newly written by McDonough.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eINDICATOR LIMITED
