Bonhoeffer: Pastor. Spy. Assassin. is a riveting biographical thriller that chronicles the extraordinary life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German Lutheran pastor, theologian, and anti-Nazi dissident who became one of the most remarkable moral figures of the 20th century. As Adolf Hitler's Third Reich tightens its grip on Germany and the Holocaust unfolds, Bonhoeffer — a man of deep Christian conviction and pacifist principles — finds himself drawn into the epicenter of a deadly conspiracy to assassinate Hitler. Torn between his faith, his moral convictions, and the urgent necessity of action in the face of genocide, Bonhoeffer must make an impossible choice: remain true to his principles of nonviolence, or risk everything — including his soul — to save millions of lives. The film is both a thrilling wartime espionage drama and a profound meditation on conscience, courage, and the price of standing up for what is right in the darkest of times. Directed by Todd Komarnicki and featuring a powerful lead performance by Jonas Dassler, the film grossed $12.6 million domestically.

Brave the Dark is a deeply moving drama based on the true story of Nathan Williams, a homeless teenager living out of his car who is thrown into jail after a series of desperate circumstances. When compassionate high school drama teacher Stan Deen discovers Nathan's situation, he makes the extraordinary decision to bail him out of jail and take the troubled young man under his wing. What follows is a powerful story of mentorship, redemption, and the transformative impact one person can have on another's life. The film explores themes of trauma, abandonment, and the courage it takes to confront one's past — both for the student and the teacher. Jared Harris delivers a quietly powerful performance as the steadfast Mr. Deen, while Nicholas Hamilton brings raw vulnerability to the role of Nathan. The film is a testament to the real-life individuals whose story inspired it, and a reminder that true bravery often means facing the darkness within ourselves before we can step into the light.

Cabrini is a sweeping biographical epic that tells the extraordinary true story of Francesca Cabrini, an Italian immigrant who arrived in New York City in 1889 with little more than her faith and an unshakable conviction that the world's most vulnerable deserved better. Greeted by disease, crime, and impoverished children living in squalor, Cabrini — despite suffering from poor health and speaking broken English — refused to accept the status quo. She set off on a daring mission to convince the hostile mayor of New York and the skeptical Catholic Church hierarchy to provide housing and healthcare for orphaned and destitute children. With an entrepreneurial mind, fierce determination, and a faith that moved mountains, Cabrini built an empire of hope that would eventually encompass 67 institutions across the United States, Europe, and South America. Directed by Alejandro Monteverde (Sound of Freedom) and featuring a luminous performance by Cristiana Dell'Anna in the title role, Cabrini earned the distinction of achieving the **highest combined Rotten Tomatoes score of any film in 2024**, surpassing even major studio releases. The film was released on International Women's Day and grossed $19 million domestically.

David is a breathtaking animated musical epic produced by Sunrise Animation Studios that brings to life one of the most beloved and enduring stories in human history — the rise of the shepherd boy David to become the greatest king of Israel. Beginning with the tender songs of his mother's heart and the quiet whispers of a faithful God, the film follows David's extraordinary journey from humble shepherd to anointed king. When the giant Goliath rises to terrorize a nation, it is the young shepherd — armed with nothing but a sling, a few smooth stones, and unshakable faith — who steps forward to face him. But the story does not end with Goliath. Pursued by the jealous King Saul and driven by a divine purpose he barely understands, David's path tests the limits of loyalty, love, and courage, culminating in a battle not just for a crown, but for the very soul of a kingdom. Featuring original music by multi-platinum Christian artist Phil Wickham and stunning animation that critics compared to *The Prince of Egypt*, David became one of the most successful animated faith-based films ever made, grossing an estimated $22 million in its opening weekend. 2521 Entertainment served as a full production company and IP co-owner on this title.

Homestead is a post-apocalyptic thriller set in the immediate aftermath of a nuclear detonation in Los Angeles. As the nation devolves into unprecedented chaos and societal collapse, former Green Beret Jeff Eriksson and his family flee the chaos and seek refuge at The Homestead — an eccentric prepper's mountain fortress run by the enigmatic Ian Ross. What begins as a desperate act of survival quickly becomes a complex moral drama as the residents of The Homestead must confront not only the external threats of violence and scarcity, but the far more dangerous internal threats of human nature: distrust, power struggles, and the question of who deserves protection and who must be turned away. The film explores themes of community, preparedness, faith, and the tension between individual liberty and collective responsibility. Directed by Ben Smallbone and featuring a strong ensemble cast led by Bailey Chase and Neal McDonough, Homestead was so well-received by audiences that it spawned a full television series continuation. 2521 Entertainment served as a full production company on this title.

Homestead: The Series is the streaming continuation of the 2024 feature film Homestead, picking up the story in the aftermath of a nuclear attack on Los Angeles and the nationwide blackout that follows.

When Ian is critically wounded, his wife Jenna fights to hold the community together and carry out his vision, even as new arrivals test the fragile balance.

Based on the Black Autumn book series by Jason Ross and Jeff Kirkham, the series was conceived alongside the film, which functioned as its pilot. The first two episodes launched on the Angel streaming platform concurrently with the film's December 2024 theatrical release. Severe weather on the Utah set delayed the remaining episodes, which resumed production in 2025; episode three premiered November 26, 2025, with weekly releases running through the season one finale on December 25, 2025. Angel Studios has since renewed the series for a second season, and it became one of the studio's most-watched original franchises.

House of David tells the story of the ascent of the biblical figure David, who becomes the most celebrated king of Israel. The series follows the once-mighty King Saul as he falls victim to his own pride. At the direction of God, the prophet Samuel anoints an unlikely, outcast teenager as the new king. As one leader falls, another must rise, and David sets out to discover and fulfill his destiny while navigating love, loss, and violence in the court of the very man he is destined to replace.

Created, co-directed, and co-written by Jon Erwin for Amazon Prime Video, the epic biblical drama is produced by The Wonder Project in collaboration with Amazon MGM Studios, with international distribution by Lionsgate.

Rule Breakers tells the inspiring true story of the Afghan Dreamers, the first all-girls robotics team from Afghanistan.

Their success draws global attention, and with it both hope and opposition, igniting a movement around girls' education and STEM.

Directed and co-written by two-time Academy Award winner Bill Guttentag, the film stars Nikohl Boosheri as Roya Mahboob alongside Ali Fazal and Nasser Memarzia, and was filmed in Marrakesh and Budapest.

Additional production partners include A Higher Standard, AllyCat Productions, and Broken Road Productions.

Sketch is a genre-blending family adventure about Taylor Wyatt, a widowed father, and his two children as they cope with the loss of his wife. When his daughter Amber's comically dark, monstrous drawings fall into a strange pond near their home, the sketches come to life and wreak havoc on their small town, forcing the family to reunite and stop the creatures they never meant to unleash. Writer-director Seth Worley has described it as Inside Out meets Jurassic Park, a story about grief, family, and the power of a child's imagination.

Marking Worley's feature directorial debut, the film stars Tony Hale and D'Arcy Carden alongside Bianca Belle, Kue Lawrence, and Kalon Cox.

After successfully rescuing a young Honduran boy from ruthless child traffickers, Ballard learns that the boy's sister is still captive somewhere in Colombia. Refusing to abandon her, he quits his government job and embarks on a dangerous undercover mission deep into the Colombian jungle, putting his own life on the line to free her from a fate worse than death. The film shines a light on the global epidemic of child sex trafficking, which affects hundreds of thousands of children worldwide each year. Directed by Alejandro Monteverde and produced by Eduardo Verástegui, the film was originally completed in 2018 but sat unreleased for years before Angel Studios acquired and distributed it in 2023, where it became one of the most unexpected box office phenomena in recent Hollywood history, grossing over $250 million worldwide.

Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot is a deeply moving true story set in the small East Texas town of Possum Trot, where pastor W.C. Martin and his wife Donna made the extraordinary decision to adopt children from the foster care system — and inspired their entire congregation to do the same. What began as one family's act of faith and love became a community-wide movement, with the small church ultimately adopting 77 children who had been deemed "unadoptable" by the system. The film is a powerful testament to the transformative power of radical love, community, and the belief that every child deserves a family. Directed and co-written by Joshua Weigel, who also appears in the film, Sound of Hope is both a celebration of the Martin family's legacy and a call to action for audiences to consider how they might make a difference in the lives of vulnerable children. 2521 Entertainment provided P&A financing support for this title.

The King of Kings is a visually stunning animated film that takes a uniquely literary approach to the story of Jesus Christ. Framed as a bedtime story told by the legendary author Charles Dickens (voiced by Kenneth Branagh) to his young son Walter, the film uses the power of a father's imagination to bring the four Gospels to life. As the story unfolds, young Walter is transported into the world of Jesus — witnessing His miracles, walking alongside His disciples, experiencing His trials, and ultimately understanding the profound meaning of His sacrifice. The film features an extraordinary voice cast including Uma Thurman as Catherine Dickens, Mark Hamill as the menacing King Herod, Pierce Brosnan as Pontius Pilate, and Oscar Isaac as Jesus. Directed by South Korean filmmaker Jang Seongho and produced by Mofac Studios, The King of Kings became one of the most commercially successful animated films of Easter 2025, earning $97% audience approval on Rotten Tomatoes. 2521 Entertainment provided P&A financing for this title.

The Last Rodeo is a heartfelt and emotionally resonant family drama about Joe Wainright, a retired rodeo legend who has spent years running from his past and the painful choices that defined his life. When his beloved grandson Cody is diagnosed with a life-threatening illness requiring expensive treatment, Joe is faced with an impossible situation: find the money to save the boy he loves, or watch helplessly as the family he neglected slips away. Against the advice of his family and the protests of his aging body, Joe decides to enter one final high-stakes bull-riding competition — not for glory or pride, but for love. Along the way, he must confront the ghosts of his past, rediscover his faith, and prove to himself and his family that it is never too late for redemption. Directed by Jon Avnet and co-written by Neal McDonough (who also stars), The Last Rodeo is a deeply American story about second chances, the bonds of family, and the courage it takes to face your own failures. 2521 Entertainment served as a full production company on this title.

The Shift is a bold and ambitious science fiction thriller that reimagines the biblical Book of Job as a modern-day multiverse adventure. Kevin Garner, a man of quiet faith, meets a mysterious and powerful figure known only as The Benefactor — a chilling, otherworldly antagonist who disrupts Kevin's reality and sends him hurtling across alternate dimensions. Separated from Molly, the love of his life, Kevin must navigate a dystopian parallel world while resisting The Benefactor's seductive offers of wealth, power, and comfort. The film blends sci-fi thriller elements with deeply personal themes of faith, loyalty, and the cost of moral compromise. Originally conceived as a 21-minute short film by writer-director Brock Heasley, the story was expanded into a feature that challenges audiences to consider what they would sacrifice — and what they would refuse to give up — when faced with infinite choices and impossible odds. The film grossed $11.7 million at the domestic box office.
