We need post-production funds for our film Turnaround Jake, which stars Jen Lilley (Gen. Hosp) & Michael Madsen (Reservoir Dogs).

Turnaround Jake

Please consider helping us, LA Mission Media, raise money for post-production for our film Turnaround Jake.  

Turnaround Jake is a family-friendly feature film about a young businessman, bent on success, who loses everything only to discover a family he never knew he had.  The film stars Jarret Lemaster (Bounty), Jen Lilley (Maxie from General Hospital), and Michael Madsen (Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill).  With a special appearance by David H. Lawrence XVII (Eric Doyle from NBC's Hero's).  The film is directed by Jared Isham, written by Shawn S., with cinematography by Rob Wiltsey.

Turnaround Jake has a strong redemptive theme filled with heartfelt drama and romance, but still plenty of laughs along the way.  Turnaround Jake is a movie that can positively effect culture by demonstrating the importance of relationships with our family, the church community, and God.

Turnaround Jake is an important film that deserves a wide release.  Therefore, we ask you to partner with us and help us to raise the money necessary to put top notch finishing touches on what is already a stellar film.

Thank you and God Bless,

Shawn S.
