Tony Young, the movie's producer told The Christian Post in an email this month.
"Our film is a redemptive tale inspired by the life and writings of Solomon,
on his quest for fame, fortune, love, acceptance and ultimate
satisfaction and certainly our film is made by people of faith, but I
think the term 'faith-based' film means different things to different
people," explained Young. "I believe when most people hear that term
today, they think of films that are more 'conversional' in nature as
opposed to 'conversational,' which is what we are trying to create in
our films."
Young and director Richard Ramsey are both committed to aiming for the
latter, though the inspiration for the film's story comes from a
familiar place: The Bible, specifically the life of Solomon. The film
follows the music career of aspiring singer songwriter Jed King as he
rises to fame following the release of a hit song, which he writes,
inspired by his love for his wife. As he finds his stock rising, King,
who has long struggled in the shadow of his father, the musically
successful and ethically troubled David King, soon finds himself and his
own career at a crossroads.
"The Song," the latest faith-based film to hit theaters and set to open
this September. With a soundtrack which evokes the Grammy award winning
British band Mumford and Sons and a protagonist who struggles with
greed, fame and staying faithful to his wife, "The Song" may challenge
audience notions of a stereotypical Christian film.(The Christ Post)
