Freedom Rains
(Slated to film in fall 2025)
Freedom Rains Is the story of Maddie, a young girl relentlessly bullied online by Amelia, the popular girl in town. As Maddie struggles with depression and thoughts of suicide, Amelia taunts her daily with stories of becoming a famous model. When Amelia is suddenly lost in a human trafficking trap, only Maddie may have the details to help save her.
Meanwhile Detective Daniels’ search for Amelia is complicated with battles at home as his own son Jacob, is lost in a lifestyle leading him down a dark path, away from the Lord. And to add to the pressure Detective Daniels must answer to his relentlessly driven boss, Lieutenant Deckerd who lost a family member to human trafficking years before. See how God powerfully moves across their paths to save their lives and set these prodigals free.

Directors Perspectives
Director/Producer Statement
As we move forward with these two feature films we are assembling the funding and resources to prepare for filming for additional equipment, daily filming costs, cast and crew costs, and other expenses. We are a Non-Profit film company, called Freedom Rains Films, Inc that will allow us to reach out to sponsors and long term investors who want to support these educational projects on a much larger scale.
We are in the process of allocating the budget and preparing to put together the cast and crew as we complete the final polishing of the scripts. We are presently in talks with JC Films to work with us to expand the efficiency and assist in releasing these films on streaming networks.
This would also include having the opportunity to have bigger name actors as part of these projects. We are inquiring with Kevin Sorbo and Dean Cain to see if they would like to be part of these inspiring film projects.
​
We are also in preproduction for a feature film Western to film between Tennessee and Florida, slated for filming the summer of 2026.
