Running the Bases has been positioned to outperform comparable films
We searched for a cinematographer that knows sports films and faith-based films. We found Bob Scott. He’s worked
on numerous blockbusters including War Room, 42, Friday Night Lights, and Overcomer. Bob read the script and
immediately signed on. Producers Aaron Burns and Justin Tolley also signed on after reading the script. Justin is
one of the most sought-after producers in the faith-based industry. His resume is deep in popular faith-based films
including War Room, Mom’s Night Out, Courageous, and Overcomer. Then you must look at our cast so far. Kevin
Sorbo, as co-lead in God’s Not Dead, helped take a $2M budget and gross nearly $64M. His popularity among the
faith-based audience is strong and helps fill seats in theaters. Brad Stine, dubbed God’s comic, is well known among
Christians and is a very good actor. Cameron Arnett is a seasoned actor dating back to Miami Vice, Star Trek: The
Next Generation, and Meet the Browns. He’s a highly sought-after actor and stars in the soon to be released film
Overcomer by the Kendrick Brothers. These actors are well-known faces among the faith-based audience.
Among other things such as great comedy and memorable musical moments, the cinematic opportunity with
Running the Bases is simply greater than any of these films. The potential audience is larger, and at this point, the
cast is set to be as good or even better. Simply put, duplicating the success of these three films was only a starting
point. With the development phase now complete, we are ready to move beyond what You Can Only Imagine.
