A rising young actress

All hail the Chief
Michael Nettles reprises his role from THREE DAYS OR ELSE as San Marcos Police Chief Jess Burry. He has a commanding presence and quiet authority on screen.
A pair up to no good
Joniing Michael Edenbaum on the villainous side of the story is one of the best character actors in the business, Matthew Hurley.
The Selling of Mexico
There is a point in the story where our lead characters make a trip to Mexico, and the authenticity of it (as Mexico) is amazing. It was due to the amazing set creation by our producer Michelle Lipscomb and by actors such as Devon Mathews, who really sold it as Mexico. .
A dazzling cinematic duo
The screen chemistry between our stars Claude Xavier and Joy White is extraordinary. It's up there with the best of them, such as Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn.
Special Roles
Two practicing ministers took small roles IN GOD'S HANDS because they wanted to support this faith-based film. One was Pastor Colby Cotton of the New Zion Baptist Church in San Marcos, seen here in character with the actress Spruce Dickerson.
Another special role
Pastor Ronaldo Flores of Primera Iglesia Baptista in San Marcos also took a role in the film, seen here with the stars Claude Xavier and Joy White.
Yet another special role
The real-life Police Chief of Kyle TX, Jeff Barnett, did a cameo in the film with our two stars, Claude Xavier and Joy White. .
Claude Xavier is winning
The star of the film, Claude Xavier, has already started to garner film festival awards and recognition.
The same goes for Joy White
Joy, like Claude, started winning awards and recognition before the film was finished. That was at film festivals that allow "works in progress."
The plague of child-trafficking
Rescuing children who are victims of child trafficking is the heart and soul of the movie.
Our cinematographer was Gary A. Parker
Besides being our Director of Photography, Gary also captured our sound. And he also did some visual effects for us in post-production. Gary is both versatile and resourceful, and he can always find solutions to shooting problems.
A spectacular location
The new Kyle,Texas Police Department was the site for all our PD scenes, and we shot there both inside and out.
The esteemed screen composer Brian Satterwhite wrote our score
And as you can see, Brian's score won for Best Original Score at the Paris Film Awards. Brian is a graduate of the famous Berklee School of Music in Boston.
This win for Best Director was most unexpected
That's because Ralph did not submit for it or pay the fee for it, but they awarded him Best Director anyway.
With a fast pace, and crisp, engaging dialogue
IN GOD'S HANDS will keep you engrossed throughout, and it never bogs down. As storytelling goes, it soars.
