Sound Of Freedom’ studio set to launch new apocalyptic project ‘Homestead
The Studio Behind the Summer’s Sleeper Hit is Ready to Shock Hollywood Again
The studio responsible for the surprise success of “Sound of Freedom” is about to make waves once more with its new apocalyptic movie, “Homestead,” which will later be adapted into a thrilling TV series.
Angel Studios has announced the completion of production on its faith-centered original film and TV show, based on the bestselling book series “Black Autumn” by Jeff Kirkham and Jason Ross. This highly anticipated project comes from the same studio that brought us the popular faith-based series, “The Chosen.”
A Post-Apocalyptic Family Survival Drama
The movie’s description reveals that “Homestead,” based on the bestselling book series “Black Autumn,” is a gripping post-apocalyptic family survival drama. It follows troubled Green Beret Jeff Kirkham, who takes on the role of head of security for wealthy doomsday prepper Jason Ross. As America crumbles, a few dozen families seek refuge in Ross’ elaborate permaculture compound known as “The Homestead,” in a desperate attempt to survive.
However, they soon realize that Ross’ plans may not be enough to protect them. Outside the gates, desperate neighbors, criminals, and opportunistic rivals see The Homestead’s resources as a treasure trove. Inside, the community becomes divided, with clashes between military and civilian factions, compassion and practicality, and spirituality and rationality. Amidst the chaos, they must also contend with the strange prophecies of Jeff’s adopted daughter.
Yet, as they cultivate the land and face impending destruction, the community begins to unite, discovering ancient truths that transcend their modern conflicts.
A teaser trailer for “Homestead” has been released, offering viewers a glimpse into the thrilling narrative. The trailer opens with a burning building and a voiceover asking how the world broke, followed by images of people fighting in the streets and news of a nuclear explosion. The trailer concludes with the statement, “Everyone Wants To Know How The World Ended….This is the story of how it began again.”
“I’m always a fan first when it comes to Angel films,” said Jeffrey Harmon, Co-Founder of Angel Studios. “I’m excited to see a hope-filled, family apocalypse story hit the screens—because isn’t God always doing something incredible, even during tough times? Homestead goes on a wild ride through the crash of civilization, only to reveal that family, community, and love are the ultimate survival advantage. I can’t wait to watch the movie and the TV show.”
A Star-Studded Cast and a Journey from Big Screen to TV Series
“Homestead,” set to release in 2024, boasts a star-studded cast including Neal McDonough, Bailey Chase, Dawn Olivieri, Jesse Hutch, and Kevin Lawson.
The film is directed by Ben Smallbone and produced by Ben Kasica and Andrea Royer. It was made possible by the support of nearly 3,000 Angel investors, who raised $1.25 million for the project.
After its theatrical run, “Homestead” will transition into a TV series, led by showrunners Ben Kasica and Ross, one of the original authors of the “Black Autumn” book series. With over 750,000 books sold to date, the series is poised to captivate audiences on the small screen.
Continuing the Success of “Sound of Freedom”
“Homestead” follows in the footsteps of Angel Studios’ previous faith-centered independent film, “Sound of Freedom.” This powerful movie, based on a true story, delves into the horrors of human trafficking and became one of the top ten grossing films of 2023 domestically, earning over $184 million at the box office.
Despite mixed reviews from critics, audiences embraced “Sound of Freedom,” giving it a 99% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. Its success also makes it the highest-grossing independent film since 2019’s “Parasite.”
With the anticipation building for “Homestead,” audiences can look forward to another thought-provoking and emotionally charged film that explores themes of survival, unity, and the resilience of the human spirit.
