Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Director Deon Gibson self-financed this through his Florida-based ministry after studios passed on the three-story structure.

Cultural

The film emerged from the 'God's Not Dead' indie Christian boom but deliberately rejected persecution narratives for internal spiritual struggle.
