I Still Believe

As storytellers who are committed to bringing emotional moments to the screen, filmmakers Andrew Erwin, Jon Erwin and Kevin Downes have found compelling stories in heartfelt moments of strength in the face of adversity. Following the success of the music biopic, I Can Only Imagine, which broke through beyond audiences of faith to become a mainstream hit and became the most successful independent film of 2018, comes I Still Believe, an inspiring love story for the ages based on the real-life story of chart-topping singer Jeremy Camp.

Based on Camp’s memoir of the same title, it focuses on Camp’s romance with his first wife, Melissa, who he married in October 2000 despite knowing she was dying. The couple were informed after their honeymoon that Melissa’s cancer had spread. She died in February 2001, four-and-a-half months after they married. It dramatises Camp’s teenage years, his rise as a well-known singer, and meeting his second wife, Adrienne.

Starring KJ Apa (Riverdale), Britt Robertson (A Dog’s Purpose), Shania Twain, and Gary Sinise.

“It was such a beautiful, tragic, hopeful, redemptive love story that we thought it would be a great movie. It would be really entertaining, familiar to those that are fans of I Can Only Imagine, but also different – much more of a love story,” says Jon Erwin. “I thought, man, I really want to make this film.”
