PITCHTired of the same old plastic, popcorn faith-based movies, I wrote Inherent Faith—a grounded, blue-collar comedy for everyday people who want to laugh without the Hallmark cheese.
It’s Easy Money meets Bruce Almighty: When down-on-his-luck carpenter Mason Wilder learns his wealthy, judgmental mother-in-law has died, he’s shocked to discover she left him her $50 million fortune… with one catch: he must give up his vices and convincingly find faith for one full year—or it all goes to her beloved dog. Cue the chaos: no booze, no smokes, no junk food, no lust, no sarcasm (good luck), and the kicker... getting right with God. As Mason stumbles through everything from jog-in-the-name-of-Jesus church groups to humiliating attempts at prayer, his plan to “fake it till he inherits it” starts to unravel. The longer he keeps up the act, the more it starts to become real, and that terrifies him even more than losing the money. Meanwhile, his daughter Elizabeth wrestles with her own crisis of authenticity, his knucklehead son Jeff takes it upon himself to become his father’s holiness referee, and his long-suffering wife Birdie dares to hope this transformation might actually stick. Inherent Faith is a character-driven, heartfelt comedy about second chances, reluctant redemption, and what happens when pretending to believe leads to something unexpectedly real. It’s for the everyday audience—honest, flawed, funny, and maybe even a little holy by accident. STATUSAvailable for option.
