WHY MAKE THIS FILM:
Hello my name is M. Legend Brown (Writer, Producer, Director) I wanted to make "A Man Called Jon” a film that would make us laugh in a time when there is so much confusion between races. This film shines a light on both races to show that our differences are what make us unique. AMCJ is our third feature film, our first two have gone on to win numerous awards and has been screened in over 40 film festivals. Our first feature film "Hiding in Plain Sight" debuted on Daystar TV.
King & Brown Enterprises, Poorchild Films, Higher Heights Filmworks and Reda Jo Films feel this is a great time to release another family friendly film that the whole family can enjoy.
Sometimes being different is when God uses you the most.

Synopsis:
A Man Called Jon is a light-hearted dramedy about Pastor Jon Terrell Carson’s unusual style of worship. Jon’s church is very traditional and is not accustomed to outbursts during service. One day, after embarrassing the church along with his family, senior pastor Stannum decides to reach out to the Bishop requesting that Jon be assigned to a church more suited to his style of praise.
Jon and his family find themselves at an African American church, where he is confronted by associate pastor Gerald Dickens, who later informs him that he was sent to the wrong church due to a mix-up in paperwork. Jon is moved to his third church where he again struggles to fit in.
Will Jon be able to control his celebration or will he be moved for a fourth time?
