Rich PraytorCAN you tell a faith-based story with horror? Yes, says Rich Praytor.

“Films are not only entertaining but they’re also a way to teach people,” Rich Praytor of Onslaught Media, who produced and directed the film, says.

“Society learns their morals and values through music, film and television. Pornography is such a destructive problem. Simply telling someone how dangerous it is usually doesn’t work. You have to tell a compelling story to catch someone’s attention and then educate them while they’re being entertained,” he adds.

One of the challenges ‘Harmless’ presented was to show the struggle with pornography without using any inappropriate images.

Praytor says: “We had to be very creative on how we portrayed the pornography in the film. We couldn’t just show images of magazines and video. We took a page from the Steven Spielberg school and didn’t show the monster, just alluded to it like in ‘Jaws’.”

The production team has launched a campaign where people can pre-order the movie and even give feedback on how the film could be improved.

The director plans on a limited release to theaters in the fall of 2012 with a worldwide DVD release early next year.
