Mitch’s Movie Spotlight: ‘Trinity Goodheart’

Erica Gluck (“The Game” and “Girlfriends”), Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Eric Benet, Mark LaMura (“Something Borrowed,” “One Life to Live,” and “As the World Turns”), Jennifer VanHorn (“The Joneses,” “All My Children”), Karen Abercrombie (“Strong Medicine”), and Willie Stratford are the cast of the film “Trinity Goodheart.”

“Trinity Goodheart” is now available in stores and by digital download. The film is a modern parable of lost love and regained family values. A kind-hearted angel leaves a pendent for Trinity Goodheart, 12, a precocious, street-wise young girl, who concludes that her long-lost mother must be in danger and needs her help. Trinity’s subsequent sojourn results in an effort to unite her disjointed family, and in the process, learn about the values of love, faith and forgiveness.

“Trinity Goodheart” premiered on GMC Television last summer and has received 5 out of 5 DOVES from the Dove Foundation. The film also received the Dove “Family Approved” Seal for All Ages. Only 88 minutes long, the film will touch the hearts of watchers as well as enjoyment of the music from some of the best artists in the music industry.

The film is executive produced by Rick Eldridge (“The Ultimate Gift”) and directed by Joanne Hock (“Redneck Roots”), marking her feature film directorial debut.
