Biography

Russell Wolfe, a pioneering American film producer, left an indelible mark on the cinematic landscape. In 2005, he co-founded Pure Flix, a film studio that revolutionized the industry by catering to a conservative Christian audience. The studio's most remarkable achievement was the "God's Not Dead" film series, which garnered widespread acclaim and commercial success at the box office.

Tragedy struck in 2013 when Wolfe was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS),a devastating disease that ravages the nervous system, causing the death of neurons controlling voluntary muscles. As the disease progressed, Wolfe's health rapidly deteriorated, and he succumbed to its cruel grasp in 2015.

Despite his untimely passing, Wolfe's legacy lived on through his film studio, Pure Flix. At the time of his death, the studio's collective films had amassed an impressive total of over 195 million dollars at the worldwide box office, a testament to his enduring impact on the film industry.
