Actor, Producer Cameron Arnett: ‘I’m Here For Heavenly Things’

By Movieguide® Contributor

Actor and producer Cameron Arnett wants his legacy to be “someone who loved God enough to give up everything.”

“I want to change the world,” he said at a press conference for his presentation of a Lifetime Achievement Award at this year’s International Christian Film and Music Festival. “I’m here for heavenly things.”

Arnett continued, “I want to see the dignity come back to the church. I want to see the church wake up again and to realize how magnificent she is, how powerful she is and what stake the Father God has in giving Christ his Son for the church. We are the answer to the world, and so what I want my legacy to be is someone who loved God enough to give up everything so that the church would rise up and become who she is.”

Arnett is known for his roles in projects like SAVED BY GRACE, FORTY-SEVEN DAYS WITH JESUS and AN ANGELIC CHRISTMAS.

He has previously attended the Movieguide® Awards ceremony, and his movie OVERCOMER was awarded the Epiphany Prize®. A portion of the Movieguide® review reads:

OVERCOMER is another very well-produced movie created by the Kendrick Brothers. The storytelling, acting and cinematography are wonderful. Some actors deliver their lines more poignantly, but in the end everyone adds significantly to the movie’s sweet, inspiring tone. Hannah’s character transformation is particularly powerful. The jeopardy involves whether Hannah and John will become overcomers in Christ. Eventually, Hannah learns to find her identity in the Lord while navigating a host of obstacles. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is proclaimed powerfully more than once in OVERCOMER. OVERCOMER features a very strong Christian worldview and is filled with many touching, poignant moments.

In addition to his work as an actor and producer, Arnett is the founder of the Christ Over Career movement.

“Our ambassadors are believers who share their faith in the marketplace, and desire to equip individuals with understanding of the importance of putting Jesus Christ at the helm of their careers,” Arnett’s website reads.

Speaking about the organization, Arnett explained, “Our job is to always choose Christ. It’s not Christ or career. But make sure if you can only have one, that it’s Christ you choose. If you’re going to have a career, make sure He’s over it.”
