The faith-based drama from Cinema Libre Studio and Fight to Fame Films, has found its director. 

Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx is stepping behind the camera to direct When We Pray. 

The drama follows two brothers who become pastors at different churches in the same community. One brother develops his church into a modern, high-tech congregation that uses digital devices and ATM machines. The other brother follows a humbler path but soon finds his church in decline and in need of financial help.

“It’s a great honor to work with such a talented and passionate man as Jamie Foxx and I’m pleased to have our new, Fight to Fame partners onboard which will give Jamie the total freedom to make this film which is close to his heart, thus launching this new unique collaboration,” said Philippe Diaz, founder and Chairman of Cinema Libre Studio.

“Jamie Foxx is a Hollywood superstar–but audiences around the world love him as well. Our strong relationships in China and other Asian countries will ensure that When We Pray will be enthusiastically received by Asian moviegoers,” added Carrie Wang, Chairman of Fight to Fame.
