About The Film ‘My Jesus,’ Starring Carly Pearce And More
Anne Wilson is a 24-year-old Christian country artist, and she’s been making waves in the music industry since releasing her 2021 song “My Jesus.”
That song has garnered over 130 million streams on Spotify, and the music video has been watched 65 million times on YouTube.
In 2022, Anne Wilson penned the book My Jesus: From Heartache To Hope, sharing her personal story of how she felt called by God to share her faith through song after family tragedy.
From this, she’s released three studio albums, opened for Morgan Wallen on his I’m The Problem Tour, and even started her own Bible devotional program for young women called “Hey Girl Nation.”
Now, her autobiographical book is being adapted into a major motion picture, with Lionsgate and Kingdom Come Story Company producing.
Describing My Jesus as a “music-driven, coming-of-age film,” Kingdom Come Story Company shared the film’s synopsis, which is as follows:
“[The film] follows the inspiring story of Anne, a teenager who is driven by a life-altering moment to post a video of herself singing online, triggering an avalanche of responses and catching the attention of executives across the Christian and country music industries. But finding her voice means Anne must also navigate the impact her gift has on everyone around her, including the changes it brings to her family and friends and the weight of her own expectations. Along the way, she must redefine how she views herself, her place in the world, her relationship with God, and ultimately her purpose.”
Starring in the film as Anne Wilson will be Aliza Kate Barlow, and the supporting cast includes Charles Esten, of the hit series Nashville; Beau Bridges; Monica Potter; and more.
As of Nov. 9, country artist Carly Pearce has been added to the cast well.
“So excited to be making my film debut and to be a part of telling [Anne Wilson’s] incredible story,” Carly wrote, adding that she “can’t wait” for people to see the film.
While it’s her first film, Carly has plenty of experience in front of cameras, starring in music videos with the likes of Riley Green; and performing in televised specials like the recent CMA Dolly Parton tribute.
