This cinematic retelling of the parable of the prodigal son, juxtaposed with interviews of real people struggling with distractions from their faith and the shame that follows addiction, was uniquely produced by Jason Pamer and Jens Jacob. The film's purpose is to bring people together to understand that they are not alone and that each of them has the opportunity to connect or re-connect with faith, family and one another.

These can all be viewed individually, but perfect also to watch as a group for discussions and teaching/learning, growth tools.

The After Show is moderated by Los Angeles-based Pastor of Zoe Church and Executive Producer of the film Chad Veach and includes spoken word artist Jackie Hill Perry, best-selling author Dr. Dan Allender ("The Wounded Heart"), Executive Producer and President of Trueface Dr. Bruce McNicol, lead actor Justin Torrence, Writer and Producer Jason Pamer and Founders of Undone Redone Traylor and Melody Lovvorn.

The exclusive behind the scenes footage of the film's production in Hawaii features never-before-seen videos of the cast and crew.

"We've been incredibly honored by the nationwide response to 'The Heart of Man,'" says Jason Pamer, filmmaker and executive producer for Sypher Studios. "To witness spontaneous applause and tears of those watching the film throughout theaters nationwide, from every corner of Christendom and beyond, is earth-shattering and deeply meaningful to us. We know many are experiencing real freedom and releasing years of shame, some for the first time."

Key partners include Bethel Music, Authentic Manhood, Covenant Eyes, r|Tribe, Samson Society, Bethesda Workshops, New Life, Pure Hope, True Face, Awesome Marriage, The New Cannan Society, The Navigators, Q and many more.
