“Sons of Thunder” is a coming-of-age, gang, drama focused on the relationship of three brothers as they wrestle with an internal debate of revenge vs. grace. Inspired by theological thought, “Sons of Thunder” aims to challenge audiences to reflect on their beliefs and values while delivering stunning visuals and exciting action.
““Sons of Thunder” has been a project that has been with me for a long time. I first started getting the initial ideas for it when I was a freshmen in college. Over the years I saw it’s potential and came to really value the story that was unfolding. My senior year of college in 2017 I started to lay the foundation of the story with an outline that listed the characters and plot points. After I graduated I started to write the first draft of the script. I finished it in 2020 and then worked with a script doctor to hash out four more drafts.”
“ In 2022 my producer Kyle Couch and I decided to produce a short proof-of-concept to garner interest from established producers, talent, and investors. We fundraised for 7 months while working out the rest of pre-production.”
“After four long nights of shooting and a year of editing, we’re finally ready to show off what we’ve made at film festivals and to other industry professionals on our road to making the feature-length film.”
