For their debut title, Family Movie Events partnered with Integrity Releasing, a distribution company with deep connections in the faith community, who brought in A Carpenter’s Prayer.

Along the way, they face challenges that threaten to unravel everything when an afflicted carpenter becomes their unlikely source of hope, proving that faith in God is the true path to redemption, even in the most tragic circumstances.

“At Integrity we are perpetually interested in distributing high-quality family content”, said Heather O’Quinn, President of Integrity Releasing. “Our partnership with Family Movie Events makes it possible for family and faith films to have a path to distribution in communities that are hungry for elevated content like A Carpenter’s Prayer”.
