HOUSE OF DAVID’s Michael Iskander celebrated the rise in powerful hope-filled storylines as he prepared to present at the 33rd Annual Movieguide® Awards Gala.
“I think it’s extremely vital [to tell faith-based stories] and we’ve been doing it for a long time, but now we’re just able to tell it at such a grand scale,” Iskander told Movieguide®. “Storytelling is one of these things that as humans, this is how we communicate. You know, this is the fiber of our being. I’m just so lucky that HOUSE OF DAVID is reaching the people in the way that it is amazing.”
Iskander was nominated for the Grace Prize® for Most Inspiring Performance for Streaming (Actor). He also presented the award for Best Movie for Children, which included the following nominees:
- THE KING OF KINGS

“It is extremely humbling to be a part of HOUSE OF DAVID,” Iskander said. “I’m just so lucky that I get to work with, like, really amazing people and have a story like the story of David be so successful at reaching the hearts of so many people.”

Movieguide® said, “Episode 208 of HOUSE OF DAVID packs a powerful emotional punch, with exquisite cinematography, sets, costume design, directing, acting, and music. It’s the longest episode with several endings, but it holds viewers’ attention. Episode 208 has a strong biblical, moral worldview, with strong Christological allusions. It extols God, faith, prayer, marriage, family, kindness, repentance, and forgiveness. Like other episodes in HOUSE OF DAVID, Episode 208 has some violence, with a little blood. So, MOVIEGUIDE® advises caution for older children, plus younger teenagers.”
The Movieguide® Awards will broadcast on Great American Family on March 5.
