The Vision
Spiraling is a powerful faith-based film that focuses on themes of addiction, redemption, and forgiveness. At its heart, the story follows Kevin Ashbury, a young man overwhelmed by guilt and battling addiction after a devastating family tragedy.

This film shows that no matter how broken someone may feel, there is always a path to renewal through God’s grace and the support of others. Spiraling is designed to uplift audiences and ignite hope in those facing their own struggles.
Why This Film Matters
Spiraling is more than a movie; it’s a reflection of real-life battles and triumphs. During development, members of the community shared personal stories of addiction, recovery, and forgiveness that deeply influenced this project. One individual described the moment they found peace and forgiveness through their faith, while another shared how their family was reunited after years of heartache. These testimonies highlight the importance of telling a story like Kevin’s—one that connects with audiences on a deeply emotional and spiritual level.
Faith-based films have a unique ability to inspire and encourage audiences. Spiraling takes an honest look at the struggles many face and shows that there is hope even in the darkest moments. It’s a story for anyone who has ever felt lost, for families seeking reconciliation, and for those who believe in the power of faith to heal.
