3 SYNOPSIS The eart of Man is a cinematic retelling of the Prodigal son story contrasted with the gritty and vulnerable true stories of people who've walked out of a moralistic and behavior-centric journey with God It s a story inviting us to leave behind our broken, moralistic and religious way of thinking and relating to God and to others. Once we begin to know who God is (and as a result who we are), we have something to invite the world into. Freedom from performance. Freedom from managing our behavior so we appear acceptable to God. Freedom from our addictions, compulsive behaviors, secrecy and double lives. This film tears the view of confusion over the church s current identity crisis and enables us to invite the rest of the world to the feast God is throwing all of us. The Film features emotional interviews with real people going through their mess and subsequent healing, and includes expert witnesses of such men as William Paul Young, author of the NY Times best-selling novel The Shack, and Dan Allender, Ph.D, author of "The Wounded eart. All of that is interwoven with a retelling of the prodigal son narrative story. WAT C T E T R A I LER III

4 WAY S T O WAT C We are excited to announce that we will be premiering in nearly 600 theaters around the US! This will be a one-night only event on September 14th and tickets are on sale now. Our hope is to see 100,000 of our friends come out and help us expose the shame that has shackled us for too long, ultimately revealing the face and love of the Father. A successful launch on this date will change the course of the movement enabling us to launch around the world through platforms like itunes and Netflix. One of the main ways we ll hit this number is if churches get engaged early on and buy blocks of tickets that they can either a. give away or b. re-sell at a discount. We encourage group viewing as the movie will be diving into heavy topics that will unearth both pain and beauty these are best processed with people. This movie shines the light on age-old bondages and removes the lid on shame exposing it for what it is. It points to the better yes and our identity as new creations, no longer just saved sinners but saints. It reveals the antidote to shame grace. The grace of the Father for his children and the grace we can have for each other in the midst of our darkest moments. IIII
