This Summer, JCFilms will be producing a Christian adoption film called CHOSEN! The film will star Dean Cain, Kevin Sorbo and Eddie McClintock and will be produced in Mansfield, OH.
"We don't just want to make a film. We want to make a film that will change and benefit the lives of children," Says Jason Campbell, President of JCFILMS.
Beyond making an entertaining film, our goal is to leave a lasting effect on the lives of those involved in adoption and foster parenting in Ohio. To do this, JCFilms is creating a non-profit organization called Ohio Helping Hands.
You see, the theme of this multi-plot movie is about empowering people to get involved. On any given day in Ohio, nearly 16,000 children are being cared for in foster care. This number is expected to increase as the number of foster parents are decreasing.
CHOSEN does highlight the beauty of adoption and foster parenting, but it also shows challenges many adoptive and foster parents endure. It is a depiction on how communities and people of faith come together to help and support these many challenges.
"Realistically, not everyone can be a foster or adoptive parent, we get that. But everyone can give a helping hand," Campbell said.
Thus, we are creating Ohio Helping Hands to follow the blueprints echoed in the film to help people find ways to support foster and adoptive families. Learn More: https://www.jcfilms.org/helpinghands.
Your post about CHOSEN does an excellent job of explaining the heart behind the film and its mission to support foster and adoptive families. I really appreciated the way you highlighted both the challenges and the hope within these stories—it makes the purpose of the project very clear and inspiring. I recently came across a discussion on a review blog mentioning https://gocollectiv.com/, and it offered an interesting perspective on organizing and coordinating community-driven initiatives, which aligns nicely with the thoughtful planning you’ve described for this film. Thank you for sharing such a meaningful project!
Really appreciated this post — succinct but powerful in explaining the heart behind CHOSEN! and your mission to highlight adoption and foster care. Your clarity about the film’s purpose and impact made it easy to grasp why this story matters. It reminded me of a https://www.rosedalewellness.com/ reflection I came across recently that talked about the importance of intentional storytelling to shift perspectives and create empathy. Looking forward to seeing more of your work!
