    As co-writers, we discussed the many problems that teens face today as well

    as the personal challenges we both have faced as fathers. We saw a need to

    develop a film that would be capable of reaching the lost youth of today.

    To our surprise "Jacksons Run not only resonated with the youth, but

    with adults of all ages. Men affected by the film have written us about

    becoming better dads, we have seen families restored, suicides adverted,

    and teens renouncing destructive lifestyles! But it has been the reaction

    from military families that have been overwhelming. Unbeknownst to us,

    Jacksons Run has given military families a voice.

    The film focuses a lot on purpose. In life you can have many purposes that

    prepare and train you but these purposes are what ultimately lead you to

    your destiny. David had many purposes. One was to be a shepherd, a harps

    player, and an arms bearer, but his destiny was to be king. As filmmakers

    of Jacksons Run, we intended to create a film that would emotionally

    and spiritually impact our audience but never imagined it would resonate

    into such a profound movement. The film has begun to rebuild hope for

    those whose dreams have been long forgotten, leading them towards their

    destiny.

    STATEMENT

  • Were all given a beginning date, our birth date, and an ending date the day we die. Its the dash

    between the two. That dash is our life.

    Jackson Stone is a reckless and troubled teen who rejects faith and the church

    as he blames God for everything bad in his life. At home, his seemingly

    uncaring parents ignore him, at school hes an outcast, and his only friend,

    Gunner, continues to pull him deeper and deeper into the abyss of trouble on

    the streets. Jackson struggles to come to terms with his fear of death, and

    his own mortality as he fights a life threatening illness.

    After a brush with the law, Jackson is sentenced to community service and

    placed under the watchful eye of Chris Daniels, a tough, streetwise pastor who

    operates a local homeless shelter. While at the shelter, Jackson forges an

    unlikely friendship with Nathan, a destitute homeless veteran, and as their

    friendship flourishes, they each learn important lessons about life, trust,

    and something neither have truly experienced Friendship.

    SYNOPSIS

    Protracted

    Brief

    As Jackson progresses towards faith, he

    begins to transform from a street

    hoodlum to a responsible young man, but

    his fragile faith is rocked when Nathan

    reveals a shocking secret from his past.

    Jackson suddenly finds himself at a

    crossroads, and now must choose between

    whats easy and whats right as his

    own destiny hangs in the balance.

    Jacksons Run is a family

    friendly, faith-based, Rites-of-

    Passage story that explores life,

    death, suffering, and Gods purpose in

    it.

    RED CARPET EVENT

    The LORD said go out into the world! It's time for an Uproar. He is calling us to make a run for GOD.

    I was honored to view the movie "Jacksons Run" and know that we are assigned to spread the Good News. I believe it is a matter of Priority, Practice, Purpose, and Obedience - for the IMPACT Challenge to create a

    generation of world changers. -Byron Williams

    Byron Williams New York Giants

    I absolutely loved "Jackson's Run". I thought it was well done both from a filmmakers point of view and just someone who loves a good movie. The story is one that a lot of our youth are facing today. It's funny because I knew so many kids like Jackson coming up and the majority of them are not around today. This is truly inspired by God and I know it will help not only the youth but adults who are dealing with similar issues as well.

    -Billy Badd

    As a cinematographer Billy has filmed music videos, documentaries and commercials for artists such as FloRida, Ray J, Akon, Trina, Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, DJ Khaled, Memphis Bleek and T.I. just to name a few. Billy received a GOD sent movie idea and was moved spiritually to produce a film that would change the way people

    viewed GOD. He was inspired to create the independent docufilm, It Has Begun, which proves that the Bible is based on reality and the importance of salvation.

  • A NIGHT WITH THE KING

    June 28 29, 2013 is a weekend to remember for all who attended and witnessed an amazing spiritual awakening! The Movement began as New Providence Entertainment through the support of IMPACT Businesses & Churches hosted an IMPACT weekend of life changing events. Kentuckiana came alive as the weekend kicked off an award winning schedule that included: an IMPACT Blessing (Prayer Vigil led by IMPACT Pastor TC Baker), an exclusive event Behind the Veil for sponsors, UPROAR the Release concert on the Riverfront, with a special presentation of Satans Kiss, an invite only VIP After Party, TOTAL IMPACT Sports Clinic & Creative Worship, and to round out the exciting weekend the Red Carpet Premier of Jacksons Run.

    Chris and Teresa Robinson were commissioned by the Lord to implement Luke 14 where the King was hosting a great banquet in his Palace, and the ones invited were just too busy to care. So the King ordered his servants to go out into the highways, and by ways and off the beaten path to find those who were down trodden, broken in spirit and forgotten. The Lord instructed Chris, Teresa and the IMPACT Team to create Operation Teen with The King the team enlisted IMPACT Businesses and Churches to become IMPACT partners, through there sponsorship allowed organizations such as Youth for Christ in the West End of Louisville and Southern IN., Open Door Youth Shelter, The Boys & Girls Club and many more organizations to receive tickets free of charge as we filled the Palace Theater with such well deserving youth and families from all over Kentuckiana and our community!

    People as far away as Zebulon North Carolina and LA came rolling into town for this spectacular event. It began with a packed house for the UPROAR concert on the river, followed by countless teens attending the sports camp the next day with Byron Williams, former NFL great of the New York Giants. But the Saturday night event at the Louisville Palace was beyond words. There were limos, and lights, Bagpipers, and 3,000 people from all walks of life which filled the venue. There were spontaneous eruptions of laughter in all the right spots and not a dry eye in the house, while the movie received two standing ovations. A record breaking autograph session followed where throngs of people literally crushed up against the signing tables. Praise Reports of changed lives, teens taking the IMPACT CHALLENGE through community service projects, baptisms, marriages being reunited, calls flooded in weeks following the event, this movie truly was IMPACTING and touching lives...It became clear those that attended viewed life differently. This entire IMPACT weekend of events is still talked about and has made a lasting impression on our community.

    In Luke 14 the King opened up his palace to the forgotten ones, and likewise GOD enlisted the "Jackson's Run" team to open the Louisville Palace for the forgotten ones, The Lord instructs each of us what you do to the least of mine you do unto me.

  • TESTIMONIALS

    It was an honor to meet with you and Chris on Tuesday. God has laid on your heart an awesome project such as Gideons Valor. We, who wear the uniform, are truly grateful when we see such care from others in our community. Thank you for the work you are doing to help heal the broken hearted, heal the wounded and bring a message of hope to the hopeless. You and Chris are Angels of mercy and God will bless the work you are doing for our hurting soldiers. I was able to listen to the song that Chris, Joel and Dirk wrote: Awesome! As you know, there is no greater symbol for a soldier than the ag. It represents all that we stand for, live for and even die for. You have captured the essence of that.

    Upon my preliminary view of Jacksons Run, it really seems to capture the pain and hurt that comes from loss, especially with the loss due to war. I believe that many families will be able to connect with the family and in the process, nd healing and hope that the lm presents. God's hand is clearly visible!!! I am excited about how the Lord will use your ministry to touch the lives of hurting families and bring healing.

    In His Service,

    U.S. Baptist Chaplin, Timothy Walls

    Oh. My. Goodness! Gracious! Chris Robinson and everyone outdid themselves on Jacksons Run. This DVD will remain on hand for ministry, family entertainment, and counseling. The nal product is so challenging, encouraging, jolting, and real! I don't know if we even moved during the last half of the movie. ~ wow. Just, wow.
