Plot

Click Clack Jack is a family film about an 1870s rail engineer, "Click Clack" Jack, who uses principles from the Bible to try and save Potters Gap from the evil Baron Snodgrass. Snodgrass is seeking to destroy the town to further his own ambition and look for gold beneath it.

Cast

Production

The production of Click Clack Jack spanned several months of character development, casting in Bradenton and on the West Coast and filming in California. The idea for the film was originally conceived in 2000. The filmmakers have said they found technical crew members whose resumes include work with shows such as Heroes, Scrubs, Without a Trace and the Christian-based football film Facing the Giants.[1] Studio 26 Productions was involved in producing the film.[2]

Director Ryan Bodie said, "One of the biggest reasons for starting Studio 26 was to help with ministry videos and Christian entertainment. There is a real need for both. My dream is to use profit from Studio 26 to produce high-end productions for ministries around the world and to produce clean entertainment for all ages."[3]
