This is our first movie based on an actual true story. In 2019, we were finishing the film overcomer it was coming out in theaters and Kirk Cameron gave me a call. We've been friends since we worked on fireproof together. Kirk says Alex, I have just seen this powerful short documentary that grabbed my my heart has me in tears is as I'm sitting here bawling my eyes out. You've got to watch this thing. I said what is it? He said it's called, I lived on Parker Avenue. So I pulled up "I lived on Parker Avenue" off of YouTube and watched it my brother Steven and I, and we found ourselves in the same condition. It's so moved us a true story about an 18 year old girl who rolls off the abortion table at the last second as the doctor was starting the procedure. She says that she heard a voice saying "get up there is still time."
