Damascus Road Productions, Uptone Pictures, and SaltShaker Media announce the upcoming theatrical release of "Paul's Promise". The inspiring biopic of hope, faith and racial reconciliation is slated to open in 200+ markets on Oct. 21 through Integrity Releasing with Home Entertainment release to launch on Dec. 6. The film stars Linda Purl, Nancy Stafford, Ryan O'Quinn, Shari Rigby, Josef Cannon and Dean Cain.


"Paul's Promise" is the debut project to be released under the newly-announced Damascus Road multi-picture pact with film executive, producer and financier Mike Ilitch, Jr., who has committed to a slate of films, many already in the production and distribution process, with a broad forthcoming slate to also soon be announced.

"Inspiring audiences through entertainment has always been a goal for our companies," said Ilitch. "This true story of one man's journey of transformation that impacted generations fits perfectly with our brand and the stories we are sharing with the world."


Hollywood veterans Ryan O'Quinn and Heather O'Quinn of Damascus Road Productions and Uptone Pictures' Michael Davis lead the charge in producing "Paul's Promise," a powerful and timely biopic about the former racist firefighter-turned-pastor in the height of the 1960s Civil Rights movement. Nick Logan and Ty Nsekhe also serve as executive producers.


"It is truly a highlight of my career to bring this story to the big screen," says O'Quinn. "One man's decision to serve God and stand up to injustice continues to make a huge impact on his community to this day."
