Collide Media Group, a leader in entertainment marketing, distribution, and production, is celebrating its 10th anniversary.
Collide marks a decade defined not only by strategic growth and creative excellence, but by measurable ministry impact across the faith-based entertainment landscape. The milestone reflects Collide’s continued Day 1 mission: to elevate media that inspires a deeper relationship with Christ.
Founded in 2016 by Bob Elder, Collide Media Group has built a reputation for delivering thoughtful, mission-aligned campaigns and productions that connect meaningful stories with audiences worldwide. Over the past decade, the company has grown into an integrated, full-service organization operating at the intersection of faith, culture, and storytelling—serving both the entertainment industry and the ministries that seek to maximize impact through these stories.
“From the beginning, our focus has been on following where God is moving and building the infrastructure to support stories that matter,” said Bob Elder, CEO and Chief Impact Officer of Collide Media Group. “What has been most meaningful is seeing how ministries have taken these films and series and turned them into resources for their own missions—creating conversations, driving engagement, and making a real impact in their communities. Maximizing ministry impact of these movies and series is why we exist.”
Today, Collide Media Group supports projects at every stage of the content lifecycle, offering expertise in marketing, publicity, influencer and social media strategy, creative services, production, distribution, and relational partnerships. Its integrated approach enables the company to serve both independent producers and major studios while ensuring that films and series are positioned as practical, mission-ready tools for ministry leaders nationwide.
“Congratulations to Collide on an incredible first decade — and to Bob and his team for their true leadership in the faith-based theatrical space. Fathom Entertainment is proud to have collaborated with Collide throughout these past ten years,” said Ray Nutt, Chief Executive Officer at Fathom Entertainment. “We look forward to many more years of working together to bring inspirational content to the big screen.”
Collide Media Group consists of interrelated companies—Collide Services, Collide Distribution, Faith Content Network (FCN), Momentum Influencers, Collide Productions, Trellis Virtual Cinema, Faith Film Fan (FFF), Docs/ology Films, Influent, and Pivot Music—creating a connected ecosystem designed to meet audiences where they are and support creators from concept to consumer.
As faith-driven films and series continue to command national attention and shape cultural conversation, Collide’s work reflects a movement that is expanding its reach and impact. Over the past 10 years, Collide-supported projects have generated more than 1.69 billion ministry-related impressions, elevating stories of meaning, purpose, and truth far beyond the screen, and have activated more than 1,500 ministries to use film and storytelling as tools for discipleship, outreach, and cultural engagement. By equipping ministry leaders with strategic resources and relational support, Collide has helped transform entertainment releases into moments of meaningful ministry, mobilizing communities nationwide to engage with stories that point people toward faith, purpose, and hope.
Over the past 10 years, Collide Media Group has worked on more than 120 faith-focused films, helping shape some of the most culturally impactful releases in the space, including THE BLIND, “The Chosen,” THE FORGE, A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD and THE KING OF KINGS, as well as the widely successful social media campaign for “The Promised Land.” Collide has deep relationships with Sony Pictures’ AFFIRM Films, Fathom Entertainment, Lionsgate, and Angel Studios, as well as a wide range of independent and other major-studio collaborators, to bring these stories to audiences worldwide.
As the faith-based film movement continues to grow, Collide’s role remains the same: to faithfully steward stories that point people toward truth, hope, and purpose.
“As the company has grown, so has our vision,” said Brian Lange, president of Collide Media Group. “We’re always looking ahead—anticipating where audiences are going, how culture is shifting, and how ministries can be better served through faith-based storytelling. This anniversary reflects not just our longevity, but our responsibility to steward these stories well.”
