GospelRhythms x Miracle Makers International Film Festival: Bringing the Week Home
MEET THE VISION.
MEET THE MAKERS.
EXPERIENCE THE MIRACLE.
After a full week of GospelRhythms coverage, conversations, and storytelling, we have arrived at the moment where everything comes together.
This campaign has taken us behind the scenes of the Miracle Makers International Film Festival Season Three: from the heart behind the festival to the storytellers bringing purpose to the screen. We have explored the vision of founder and director Erin Miracle, the importance of faith and purpose in entertainment, the makers building meaningful work, and the community helping transform an idea into an experience.
Now, it is time to bring it home.
Miracle Makers International Film Festival takes place September 2–6, 2026, at Regal Edwards Big Newport, 300 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach, California.
This is more than a film festival.
It is an invitation to gather around stories that challenge, encourage, inspire, and remind us that creativity can carry eternal impact.
Stories that make you believe.
MEET THE VISION
Every meaningful movement begins with a vision.
For Erin Miracle, the vision behind Miracle Makers is rooted in the belief that entertainment can do more than fill time. Stories can open conversations. They can strengthen families, encourage communities, create opportunities, and help audiences see possibility where they once saw limitation.
That vision is reflected in the festival’s guiding spirit: Entertainment with Eternal Impact.
Miracle Makers welcomes faith-based and open creative work across film, television, writing, music, dance, podcasts, web series, and content creation. With more than 80 categories, the festival creates space for many forms of storytelling and many kinds of makers.
This matters because purpose-driven storytelling does not always arrive in one format.
Sometimes it is a feature film.
Sometimes it is a short documentary, a screenplay, a song, a podcast, a dance performance, or a digital series. Sometimes it is a conversation that gives a creator the courage to keep going.
The vision is broad enough to welcome creativity and focused enough to honor meaning.
As 1 Corinthians 3:7 reminds us, “Neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.”
The work is ours. The increase belongs to God.
MEET THE MAKERS
Behind every finished film is a community of people who believed in the work before the audience ever saw it.
There are writers, directors, actors, producers, editors, cinematographers, composers, designers, publicists, volunteers, sponsors, media partners, panelists, nonprofit leaders, businesses, and supporters. Each person contributes something different, but together they help bring stories into the light.
That spirit of collaboration has been central to our GospelRhythms coverage throughout the week.
We have highlighted the people who understand that filmmaking is not only about getting a project made. It is also about creating access, building relationships, opening doors, and making room for voices that deserve to be seen and heard.
One example is Cleve Brown III and New Life: The Movie.
The film represents the kind of purpose-driven filmmaking that reminds us why these platforms matter. Stories centered on renewal, faith, transformation, and new beginnings can meet audiences in deeply personal places. They can remind someone that their past is not the end of their story and that restoration is still possible.
New Life: The Movie reflects the power of purpose-driven storytelling.
This is why festivals matter. They give creators more than a screening slot. They give them a room, an audience, a conversation, and the possibility of connection.

EXPERIENCE THE MIRACLE
The miracle is not only what happens on the screen.
The miracle is the gathering.
It is the filmmaker watching an audience respond to their work. It is the first-time attendee discovering a story that speaks directly to their season. It is the conversation after a screening. It is the unexpected introduction that becomes a future partnership.
It is the volunteer showing up early, the sponsor investing in the mission, the media team amplifying the story, and the community choosing to support independent creators.
Season Three offers five days of screenings, filmmaker Q&As, panels, networking, red-carpet moments, press and media opportunities, special experiences, and an Awards Dinner & Gala on Sunday, September 6.
The festival experience is designed to move beyond passive viewing. Audiences are invited to participate, ask questions, meet creators, learn from industry conversations, and discover the people behind the projects.

A FESTIVAL BUILT AROUND CONNECTION
A Christian film festival: or any faith-based film festival: should not be defined only by what happens in the theater.
It should also be measured by what happens between people.
Miracle Makers creates room for:
- Visibility for filmmakers and emerging creators.
- Access to conversations, panels, and industry perspectives.
- Connection between artists, audiences, nonprofits, businesses, and media.
- Opportunity for future partnerships and creative relationships.
- Encouragement for makers who are building with purpose.
- Community for people who believe entertainment can uplift and inspire.
That is the heartbeat of this entire campaign.
GospelRhythms believes faith and culture belong in the same conversation. Our mission has always been to spotlight Christians in entertainment, urban and contemporary gospel, faith-based news, and the stories shaping our communities.
That is why this partnership matters.
Through GospelRhythms Magazine, readers can continue discovering in-depth interviews, reviews, and entertainment features. Through GOT One TV coverage, audiences can stay connected to conversations, showcases, and visual storytelling.
Miracle Makers adds another important room to that ecosystem: the theater.
HOW TO EXPERIENCE THE MIRACLE
There is no single way to participate. Whether you are a filmmaker, entertainment professional, faith leader, media outlet, business owner, volunteer, supporter, or audience member, there is room for you.

Join the Conversations
Attend filmmaker Q&As, panels, networking opportunities, red-carpet moments, and other festival experiences. Do not rush away after the screening. Sometimes the most meaningful part of the experience begins when the credits end.

Support the makers by learning about their work, asking thoughtful questions, following their projects, and sharing their stories. Encouragement can become fuel for the next assignment.

Bring Someone With You
Bring the person who needs an encouraging story. Bring the aspiring filmmaker. Bring the young creative who needs to know there is room for their voice. Bring the friend who loves faith, film, and meaningful conversation.
Sometimes showing up is the miracle someone else has been waiting to see.
THE FINAL INVITATION
Miracle Makers International Film Festival Season Three is not simply asking audiences to watch.
It is inviting us to participate.
Come meet the vision. Come meet the makers. Come experience the miracle.
Show up for the storytellers. Show up for the conversations. Show up for the nonprofits, businesses, sponsors, volunteers, and community members helping build something meaningful.
Show up believing that faith-based entertainment can be excellent, relevant, creative, honest, and powerful.
And if you are a creator, keep creating. Your story may be the encouragement someone needs. Your idea may be the beginning of a movement. Your work may reach a person you will never meet.
The miracle may not look like a finished destination.
Sometimes it looks like one more person believing. One more door opening. One more story finding its audience.
We will see you in Newport Beach.
Stay Soulful, Roe.
