Uniting Media and Message: Exploring Human Connection through Storytelling – A Recap of the Faith & Media Initiatives Inaugural Event with Jon Erwin

Written by Deeper Dive

The media and entertainment industry has enormous influence on how audiences around the world think about religion. It impacts how we treat others, how we think about our own moral systems, how we vote, and how we think about other facets of identity, including race, gender, and sexuality.

For our first event with the Faith & Media Initiative, DeeperDive co-hosted a training, private screening, and director’s discussion at the Hollywood SoHo House with Jon Erwin on his new movie, Jesus Revolution.

With executives from Lionsgate, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, HBO, and more, we discussed the role of the media in reducing division and increasing human connection through complex storytelling.

Thank you to all who attended for a phenomenal kickoff to our collaboration!
