His films, like Nefarious and Left Behind: Rise of the Antichrist, turn traditional biblical stories into compelling cinematic narratives, intentionally avoiding Hollywood’s trend of moral decline and anti-heroes. Sorbo laments how modern Hollywood favors stories that celebrate evil, anti-heroes, and moral ambiguity, contrasting it with the optimistic, morally upright films of the 1960s which celebrated hope and redemption.
He reflects, “Hollywood used to do movies that had hope, love, good triumphing over evil… they don’t anymore.” Despite the systemic challenges, Sorbo remains committed, highlighting how his films quietly find audiences and how word of mouth is still a powerful tool for distribution.
