A Time for Every Purpose” follows four people in a small town as they face trauma, doubt and the need for forgiveness. Paul, a veteran living with severe PTSD, fights to reclaim his sense of peace. Pastor Clark quietly wrestles with his own crisis of faith even as he continues showing up for those who need him. Reggie carries the weight of a tragic accident and searches for a way to make things right. Ruth, a single mother with a painful past, confronts her former abuser when he reappears and threatens the life she’s worked hard to rebuild.

Together, their stories show how people hold on to hope even when the path is hard. The film centers on grace, second chances and the strength to step into a new season with faith. It’s ultimately a story about finding refuge in the love of Christ and trusting that healing and purpose can emerge from life’s hardest moments.

The cast of “A Time for Every Purpose” includes talented actors such as Zachary S Williams from “All American,” “Family Reunion,” and “I am Frankie,” and Eric Diaz, a series regular in Vince Vaughn’s Apple TV show, “Bad Monkey.” The film also features Wade Hunt Williams, known for his roles in “Child of God,” “The Investigator,” and “Jungle Run.” Complemented by a cast of emerging talents from central and south Florida, the performances in the film are truly remarkable.

With over two decades working on-camera, Lance Smith makes his directorial debut in A Time for Every Purpose. First known as the face of Viacom’s CMT followed by the nationally syndicated morning show, The Daily Buzz, Lance currently serves as personality and host for the Tennessee Titans. He also co-wrote the screenplay with noted horror film writer, Nat Brehmer.

Joining the project as a veteran co-producer is Barry Cook, who began his career at Disney in 1981 and contributed to iconic films like Tron, Oliver & Company, and Captain EO. With seventeen years of experience at Disney, Cook made his directing debut with the beloved film Mulan.

The heart of this movie comes from Quinton Macari III, who created and edited the film. Better known by his Bond-like nickname, Q is a veteran in the media industry with over two decades of experience, including work on a film featured in the Cannes Film Festival. He’s been equally successful in the commercial space, creating content for national brands, including Yelp, US Bank, Chick-fil-A, and many more. This is Q’s third feature film.

The dynamic visual scope of the film is due to the talented efforts of director of photography and film producer Edward Ryan Funk, owner of Image in a Nation and course director for Full Sail University’s digital cinematography program.
