MEDIA ADVISORY, June 5, 2008 /Christian Newswire/ -- Coming to DVD June 10, the new Christian action/thriller, SMUGGLER'S RANSOM. This marks the first release by Cloud Ten Pictures since LEFT BEHIND: WORLD AT WAR.

Cloud Ten's CEO Andre van Heerden says, "[Smuggler's] is a great find...a powerful story of redemption told against the backdrop of a spy-thriller."

Produced in the summer of 2006 by young filmmakers Brandon Rice and Daniel Noa, SMUGGLER'S RANSOM was filmed on a tight budget and even tighter schedule.

"We had no idea what to expect going into this," says Rice, "we had to trust God with a lot of stuff."

The film follows American Special Agent Bill Donley, played by Anthony Tyler Quinn (Boy Meets World, Melrose Place) on his latest mission to rescue Carmen Gonsalo in 1980's Communist Romania.

"Smuggler's Ransom is a fun movie!" exclaims writer/director Daniel Noa, "It has something for everyone".

When asked about the possibility of a sequel, Noa replied, "I'd like to do it, we'll see how people respond to this one. I'm just happy people will be able to finally see it."

Look for Smuggler's Ransom in retail stores, or online June 10.
