The Challenge

Epicentre WestLA had an extraordinary story to tell: three days after the end of a prayer campaign, they received their first permanent church building. But they lacked the internal expertise and resources to document it. With a fundraiser scheduled to start within the month, the clock was ticking. They needed a trustworthy partner who could authentically capture the awe and wonder of the moment in a way that showcased their simple hospitality.

The Insight

Living the story left the church leadership wanting to document every last detail of what had happened. While the details were certainly miraculous, we decided the wonder of the story would best be captured by honing in on two key narratives: the healing journey of a newer member of the congregation, and the prayer campaign that ended three days before being introduced to a new building. By going deep, we were able to spark curiosity in the viewer to learn more about the details.

The Solution

BeaconBrand led full production from concept to launch strategy. Working alongside Griffin Entertainment, we developed the storyline structure, letting the congregation's faces and voices carry the narrative weight. The film premiered to the congregation and received an immediate, emotional response — doing exactly what it was designed to do.
