Congratulations to "Triumph of the Heart" which premiered and won best feature film at Hard Faith Fest in Los Angeles this past season. Great article by Joseph Holmes.
(REVIEW) “Triumph of the Heart” is a rare movie that leans into the parts of the Christian walk we often like to talk about but not experience. In doing so, it shows us the beauty of standing up against evil. If one can take the constant drumbeat of pain and look past some of its repetitiveness ...

Hard Faith Podcast Season 3 - Episode 5: with Jason Munden
On this episode of the Hard Faith Podcast, Spencer Folmar sits down with filmmaker Jason Munden—director, producer, and creative force behind the award-winning short film Ripple. Jason shares his journey from years of corporate production in Los Angeles to following God’s call to tell stories that matter. He opens up about the moment he realized he didn’t just want to make content for major brands, but instead felt compelled to create films with real authenticity, grit, and redemption at their core.
Spencer and Jason revisit how they first connected through Jean Wenger and the Hard Faith Film Festival, where Jason’s pitch for Ripple wowed the crowd before going on to win Best Short Film at Hard Faith Fest 3. Jason talks about the creative process behind Ripple, his collaboration with writers, and the challenges of finding scripts that break free from formulaic storytelling to capture raw, faith-adjacent realities. Along the way, he shares insights on perseverance, divine direction, and the importance of focusing on the next right step as a storyteller.

Telling Stories That Liberate
ABOUT US
Hard Faith™ is a film production company established for the purpose of bringing compelling stories about the human condition to a film going audience in a way that artistically reflects the mind and spirit of Jesus Christ, and speaks truth to this present generation in a fresh and powerful way.
The world needs quality entertainment that speaks truth boldly. We need stories that are set in real-world settings with characters that talk about the ultimate truth that is contained in the Old and New Testaments. What makes our company unique among other Christian filmmakers is our commitment to portraying characters, both Christian and non-Christian alike, in all of their flawed humanity and brokenness. We accomplish this with realistic, real world scenarios and real life characters.
Hollywood has been the masters of compelling storytelling for generations. These filmmakers of dramatic cinema have produced some of the worlds greatest existential films dealing with human existence. Invariably, these Hollywood films have no solution to the human dilemma, or at best, attempt to offer either hopelessness, or the false hope that man can find redemption and salvation within himself.
While we are in the “entertainment” business, our purpose goes beyond producing Christian entertainment for Christian people. That is not our calling. Our desire is to make hard hitting, thought provoking secular films with characters who are portrayed as real life, flawed people who can speak boldly of their faith without being judgmental or preachy.
