David C. Cook and Flannel--creators of Rob Bell's award-winning "Nooma" DVD series (Zondervan)--are joining forces to create "Basic," a new film series featuring best-selling author Francis Chan. The first Cook to launch Francis Chan film series film in the series, slated for release in July 2010, will ask the question, "What does it really mean to fear God?"

"We are tremendously excited about this new partnership that combines two of today's best-sellers," said David C. Cook Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing C. Ryan Dunham. "Francis Chan's authenticity, passion and ability to connect with people make him one of today's most popular authors and speakers. Flannel's award-winning films use incredible creativity, powerful messaging and the highest quality of cinematography."

A California pastor, Chan is the author of the best-selling Crazy Love and the recently released Forgotten God (both David C. Cook).

"Although Crazy Love sales exceed 600,000 and 'Nooma' films sales exceed 2.3 million, the focus of this partnership is to change hearts and to inspire viewers to live as God intended," Dunham said.
