Joshua Enck is a producer, writer, and director of both on stage plays and feature films. His most recent film, A Great Awakening, is available now through the Wonder Project subscription on Prime Video!
“In honor of America’s 250th anniversary, A Great Awakening tells the true story of an unlikely friendship that resulted in one of the most defining moments in American history. With the colonies on the brink of collapse, the Reverend George Whitefield (Jonathan Blair) sparks the first Great Awakening, uniting an entire generation with his thundering proclamation of liberty in Christ. In a miraculous turn of events, one of Whitefield’s closest friends and greatest promoters becomes none other than Benjamin Franklin (John Paul Sneed). With the nation’s freedom hanging in the balance, Franklin discovers true liberty cannot only be written into law - it must be awakened in the hearts of the people.”
