Summary: Bobby Downes is the Co-founder and President of Echolight Studios, joins us to share the studio's new movie 25 Hill, a film with an unusual inspiration. Writer/Director Corbin Bernsen (Psych, Major League) leads an all-star cast in 25 Hill, a testament to those who find the courage to confront their pain and the faith to stay committed to values they hold dear. 12 year-old Trey Caldwell (Nathan Gamble of Dolphin Tale) is shattered when his soldier father is killed in Afghanistan, leaving a hole in the boy’s life – and an unfinished Soap Box Derby car in the garage. A final gift from his dad, the car is a constant reminder of all that could have been. But when Trey meets Roy Gibbs, a grizzled Fire Chief devastated by the loss of his firefighter son on 9/11, a new relationship forms and old wounds finally begin to heal. As the unlikely team works to complete the Soap Box car and train for the upcoming Derby, they’ll learn that life isn’t about the starting line or checkered flag – it’s about having the courage to make the incredible journey of faith in between. Also starring Ralph Waite (The Waltons), Maureen Flannigan (7th Heaven), and Bailee Madison (Bridge to Terabithia). Actor Jason Burkey, star of the surprise hit, October Baby, returns to the Ask MomRN Show to discuss the movie's success and impact and the new dvd and novel based on the film.
