After Gerald Martin Davenport made is first film Paint in 2005, he thought he would never get the opportunity make another movie. In 2009, that opportunity increased with his introduction to Access Sacramento's A Place Called Sacramento when he wrote THE GOLdEN TREE for the 2010 contest. Gerald's passion, drive, and excitement for telling positive, uplifting, and unique stories ignited. Since then, he has worked with many talented and hard-working actors and crew on many film projects.
Grateful, honored, and humble with his achievements, experiences, and relationships with the people on each project, he was not content or complacent. Constantly challenging himself to get better and try something new, he reached the point that the next step to grow was to make a longer, more complex movie that included paying everyone, securing proper locations and props, and scheduling more than just two consecutive days each week to capture the action. But to do so required having a substantial budget, a thing that evaded him no matter how hard he tried to get one.
During a conversation between Gerald and a fellow filmmaker, the question of whether they should make a movie in 2025 arose. Both agree they should, no matter the length of the project, but what would that project be? When the filmmaker blurted out Faithball, Gerald had reservations about it due to its complexity. Following a chat with another filmmaker/actor, Gerald pitched the idea that he should crowdfund the movie to finance it.
Leaving self-doubt behind, ignoring the nay-sayers, and looking beyond the chasms to the other side, Gerald is taking control of his journey to bring you Spiritually Positive, Uplifting Entertainment — the kind you can share with your grandparents and your children without worrying about the content not being suitable or questionable, and that is not short on entertaining action, drama, and thrills.

Finding the courage to leap into such a massive undertaking was not an easy choice. Like many independent filmmakers, I were stuck in the waiting game. But not anymore. I am stepping up to take that risk and make full-length Faith-based Action Thriller film on my own terms. I know, IT IS ABOUT TIME.
