Kingdom Story Company (previously known as Kingdom Studios) is an independent American film and television production company that collaborates with Lionsgate and focuses on creating faith-centered entertainment. Established on March 26, 2019, by the Erwin Brothers (Jon and Andrew Erwin), along with Kevin Downes and Tony Young, the company operates out of both Nashville, Tennessee and Los Angeles, California.
History
The initial funding for Kingdom was derived from the earnings of the Erwins' film I Can Only Imagine, which achieved over $83 million in domestic box office revenue from a modest $7 million budget. This financial success paved the way for a multi-year agreement with Lionsgate, enabling the Erwin Brothers and Kevin Downes to develop faith-based movies and television series.
Kingdom officially debuted at the National Religious Broadcasters convention held in Anaheim, California, in March 2019.
Their inaugural movie, I Still Believe, commenced filming in early 2019 and premiered on March 13, 2020.
In September 2019, Kingdom broadened its scope by creating a television division under the leadership of producer Mona Garcea, who is recognized for her work on The Big Bang Theory.
Following the acquisition of film rights to the life story of NFL quarterback Kurt Warner, Kingdom announced the production of American Underdog: The Kurt Warner Story in February 2020, with its release occurring on December 25, 2021.
Most recently, Kingdom extended its first-look agreement with Lionsgate to continue their partnership on upcoming faith-based film and television projects.
Filmography
Kingdom Story Company aims to produce two faith-oriented films each year. They revealed four upcoming projects slated for wide release in 2020 or 2021 through Lionsgate during the National Religious Broadcasters convention in Anaheim. Their debut feature, I Still Believe, portrays Jeremy Camp’s experiences during his first wife’s fight against cancer. Additional announced titles include Apostles: Resurrection of Christ, envisioned as the initial installment of a New Testament trilogy; Jesus Revolution, which explores the Jesus Movement; and The Drummer Boy, created in partnership with Christian band For King and Country. The sports biopic American Underdog, chronicling Kurt Warner’s journey, also forms part of their lineup.
