MSI Films, in collaboration with Redbird Entertainment, is excited to announce the theatrical release of their latest film, “For Prophet,” a faith-based comedy that combines humor with a poignant message of perseverance and belief. The film is set to premiere in select theaters across the United States on June 21st, distributed by Integrity Releasing, followed by a home entertainment release on July 26th.
“For Prophet” tells the story of Damon Fisher, played by Ben Marten of “Chicago Fire” fame. Fisher is a down-on-his-luck entrepreneur who unexpectedly encounters Archangel Raphael, portrayed by Valentina Garcia in her award-winning role from “Lessons in Chemistry.” Raphael reveals that Fisher has been divinely selected to serve as a part-time prophet tasked with saving his deteriorating hometown, plagued by corruption and indifference.
The film explores Fisher’s tumultuous journey as he confronts both celestial and demonic forces, the latter of which manifests as a taunting cameraman visible only to him. His trials not only threaten his business and marriage but also test the limits of his sanity and faith.
Directed, written, and produced by Mark Stewart Iverson through MSI Films, “For Prophet” is described by Iverson as a labor of love that aims to inspire laughter and introspection about life’s spiritual battles. “I wanted to create a movie that would make people laugh, think, and gain a new perspective on the struggle of this life; how faith can play a real part in overcoming doubt and fear,” Iverson stated.
The film also stars Enrico Natale, T’Keyah Crystal Keymáh, Eddie Jemison, and features the late Bert Belasco in his final film role. Belasco’s performance, along with the ensemble cast, has been praised for elevating the film’s heartfelt and comedic narrative.
“For Prophet” has already made waves on the festival circuit, earning multiple awards, including Best Actress accolades for Garcia. The acclaim highlights the film’s unique blend of comedy and spiritual reflection, resonating with audiences worldwide.
Enrico Natale, who also served as a producer for the film, shared his enthusiasm for the project, noting, “I’ve been a fan of Mark and his vision from the very beginning. We produced something really special together.” The sentiment reflects the collaborative spirit that has characterized the production from its inception.
With its upcoming release, “For Prophet” invites audiences to a cinematic experience that promises not only to entertain but also to inspire contemplation about the deeper aspects of human existence, faith, and the eternal struggle between good and evil. As viewers anticipate its debut, MSI Films and Integrity Releasing are poised to deliver a film that will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression. For more information, go to Forprophetfilm.com
