Bronx Bridge Films and Homestead Entertainment Unite for Faith-Based Films Targeting Black Audiences

A New Era for Faith-Based Cinema

In a groundbreaking partnership, Bronx Bridge Films has successfully entered a five-year agreement with Homestead Entertainment to deliver compelling faith-based films to Black audiences. This collaboration is poised to enhance representation within cinema by focusing on stories that resonate deeply with underrepresented communities.

The agreement, announced on September 24, 2025, follows the success of their previous collaboration on the 2023 drama "Crossover The Revenge." Rob Johnson, the owner of Homestead Entertainment, expressed great enthusiasm for this partnership, highlighting its potential to amplify diverse voices in an area that has historically lacked visibility. He stated, "Our renewed partnership with Bronx Bridge Films underscores Homestead Entertainment's unwavering dedication to amplifying diverse voices and narratives within the often-underrepresented faith-based film landscape."

Both Johnson and Christopher Brown, the owner of Bronx Bridge Films, shared their excitement over the new agreement, focusing on the opportunity to explore stories rich in cultural significance. Brown described this moment as an opportunity to pursue his passion for developing urban and faith-based content, stating simply, "We about to shake it up!"

The intent behind this partnership is not merely to produce films but to encourage a sense of belonging and pride within the Black community by presenting relatable narratives that reflect their experiences. Johnson emphasized that these film projects aim to deliver impactful stories that inspire and encourage audiences to connect with their faith.

The newly formed partnership has already begun to bear fruit, with upcoming releases including "God's Green Earth," a story centered around a family farm facing foreclosure. Directed by E.W. Brooks, this film showcases an impressive cast of Gospel singers, including Dr. Dorinda Clark-Cole, Le'Andria Johnson, and Travis Malloy. The film is not just an entertainment piece but is also designed to resonate with viewers, celebrating faith and community resilience in the face of adversity.

Bronx Bridge Films and Homestead Entertainment began collaborating in 2022 with the film "Dear Frank," which featured well-known artists like Lil Durk and Claudia Jordan. The film tells the poignant story of Frank (played by Brian J. White) seeking justice after the tragic loss of his wife. Their history of collaboration establishes a solid foundation upon which this new agreement is built, reinforcing both companies' commitment to producing powerful narratives.

In an era where the film industry is increasingly focusing on inclusivity, this partnership is a much-needed step towards diversifying media content for Black audiences. Homestead Entertainment, created in 2020, is recognized as one of the fastest-growing black-owned distribution companies in the independent film market. Their focus on the distribution of original content made for and by marginalized groups paints them as a fitting partner for Bronx Bridge.

Johnson concluded by stating that this strategic alliance not only strengthens both companies but also serves a greater purpose of honoring and representing the voices that are often sidelined in mainstream cinema. The journey ahead in faith-based film production is not about creating entertainment alone; it’s about fostering connections and formally representing the cultural narratives and spiritual journeys of the Black community.

As the film landscape continues to evolve, the collaboration between Bronx Bridge Films and Homestead Entertainment stands as a beacon of hope for faithful storytelling that empowers and uplifts.

Together, they aim to rewrite the narratives surrounding faith in Black culture, ensuring that these stories are heard, celebrated, and cherished for years to come.
