The future of Catholic narration passes from Seattle, speaks in several languages and turns on on each screen. Is called I BELIEVEand it is the new global platform for audiovisual content inspired by faith, conceived and founded by Tim MoriartyAmerican director, actor and producer with a long experience in the television and cinematographic sector. Launched the May 28, 2025 all over the world, I think it proposes to unite artistic excellence, theological solidity And digital innovationreturning voice and centrality to Catholic culture all‘internal of‘contemporary entertainment.
“Catholics should not be satisfied with anything less than the‘Artistic excellence “, says Moriarty, who in 2017 had already founded Castletown Media, a production house specialized in religious content. His vision has now become a complete reality: I BELIEVE It is an integrated study that develops projects, it tests them with real data, raises funds through crowdfunding and traditional investments, distributes them in cinemas and finally makes them available online on I believe. A complete process, treated in every phase, which aims to enhance creative talent and to offer spectators of quality content, without compromise.
The platform does not include monthly subscriptions or fixed costs: the public can access the‘entire catalog with a formula on-demand “À la carte”paying only to rent or buy the single chosen title. It is a model designed to be fair with the authors and transparent with users. «With Creed, rigorous curatorship and streaming technology D‘avant -garde meet: so families can press ‘play‘ With the certainty of seeing beautiful and spiritually solid films ».
The launch film was chosen with great care. This is Carlo Acutis: Roadmap to reality, a documentary produced by Castletown Media and Wahl St. Productions, distributed in over a thousand US cinemas and become the most viewed religious documentary of‘year. “The story of Carlo – explains Moriarty – perfectly embodies what I believe wants to communicate: truth, beauty, charity, experienced in the present through today’s languages”. The film is now available in streaming all over the world, with subtitles in Italian, Spanish, French and Portuguese.
Initial success is not a point D‘Arrival but a departure. In the months following the launch, I believe it will enrich its catalog with an accurate selection of films, documentaries, series and podcasts, chosen through an editorial process that evaluates four fundamental aspects: Theology, narrative force, public interest and productive quality. Only the projects that excel in all categories are approved for production. Among the next announcements announced, Leo XIV stands out: in Pontiff‘S Path, a biographical series in three episodes dedicated to the new Pope: a portrait that intertwines interviews, images and reconstructions to tell the vocational path that, from Chicago and from the missionary work to Peru, has brought an Augustinian friar to the papal throne.
THE‘Idea of a platform as I believe was also born from the personal trajectory of Moriarty. Raised in Seattle in a deeply Catholic Irish family, he enters the Jesuits and studies philosophy at Boston College, where he follows both the degree and the Master. After years of discernment, he decides to follow the vocation to marriage, but brings with him the desire to communicate faith. He moved to New York, studies acting at the Louisiana State University, works as an actor in successful series such as Blue Bloods, The Blacklist, House of Cards, Luke Cage, Manifest, and builds a career that culminates in the creation of Castletown Media.
“People are hungry for truth, goodness and beauty – he says today -. We fill this need, offering reliable content that they are also a resource for educators and teachers. Without faith there would be no story to tell; With faith, every shot is an act of hope ». For him, faith is “the compass that directs every choice. Scripture calls it “substance of the things hoped “: I live it like this, like a horizon to tend to, a‘atmosphere that you breathe ».
The gaze is wide, the dream declared: “I want me to think the place where every Catholic author can launch a project, and every family can find authentic stories, without having to look for them elsewhere”. A‘Aspiration that accompanies a clear invitation: “If the great screens make you feel invisible, remember: the history of the Church is still all to be written, and you too are part of it”.
