That phrase was the driving force that ignited the fire within ACTS Brothers, Jason Aleman and Michael Adams. Their journey began with doing precisely that, putting all their trust in God. The two men of Christ were paired as prayer partners in a church retreat at the beginning of 2020. Little did they know that the two, once complete strangers, would end up being partners and forming a motion picture studio company and film production company.

Jason sought out Michael’s advice and consultation on Parallel: Lyric’s Landing, a script he started writing in 2015. Another brother from that same church retreat came to Jason about the screenplay he recently read and wanted to create a plan of action. After Michael learned more about this plan, Michael and Jason followed their hearts and prayers and fostered this God-focused idea. When Jason originally wrote the screenplay, it garnered the attention of reasonably well-known names in film and television.

The green light started to break through the sky during one of the darkest times in our current history. Amid the COVID Pandemic, the Holy Spirit spoke and set Parallel on it’s final trajectory. Michael and Jason partnered up, and Trumpet & Thunder Motion Pictures, LLC, along with Parallel Films, LLC, were born.
