HE NAMED HIM ADAM Movie Crowdfunding Campaign
We’re Crunch Entertainment, an independent film production company. And we’re here to tell you about our latest project and ask for your support.
Repulsed by the values promoted by Hollywood, we relocated to the South a few years ago. Our goal is to make powerful, highly entertaining films that present an alternative view to Hollywood’s relentless attack on traditional values.
Our last project, FATHER RYAN: A HIGHER CALL, was an inspirational docu-drama that garnered multiple festival award nominations and recently premiered to an estimated audience of 13 million on the Eternal World Television Network (EWTN).
Our current project is a pro-life, faith-based feature film called: HE NAMED HIM ADAM. It’s the inspiring, true-life story of Regina Block.
After an abortion, Regina suffered from crippling depression. Over nine years, her depression became so severe that it ended her marriage, her ambition to become a lawyer, and drove her to the brink of suicide. It was then, after hitting rock-bottom that she was finally willing to listen to her four-year old daughter. Her daughter had been having recurring dreams revealing a mystical message from heaven. This message was so powerful that it healed Regina’s depression and inspired her to dedicate her life to helping post-abortive women heal from the devastation of abortion.
We chose to tell this story because the battle over life is far from over. In fact, since Roe v. Wade was overturned, the radical abortion lobby is more determined than ever to end all protections for the unborn and permanently enshrine unlimited abortion in all 50 states.
It may surprise you to know that we are former pro-abortion activists. So what caused us to change our minds? Decades of hearing stories like Regina’s that touched our hearts and caused us to re-think the issue of abortion. We discovered, from numerous women in my own life circle, that they came to regret their abortions, suffering for years in silence. Experiencing physical, emotional, and mental pain. The fact that they were afraid to tell their stories particularly impacted us.
It’s been said many times that politics runs downstream of culture. For over fifty years, the pro-abortion side has dominated the cultural narrative through films, television, news, and social media. Generations of women have been indoctrinated to an inverse reality, believing that the taking of an innocent human being’s life is a “human right.”
Just as our hearts were changed by powerful testimonies from post-abortive women, we believe this story can do the same. Especially for those who claim to follow Jesus Christ and yet continue to support the taking of innocent life.
Millions of women who’ve had abortions wonder about their lost babies, or even come to regret their abortions. Sometimes decades later. Until we can convince these women that there’s a path to peace and reconciliation through Christ, they will continue to uphold and defend their actions, voting for abortion. Regina found that path, and telling her story can inspire others to follow in her footsteps. This is why we’re making this film.
Which brings us to how you can help. Obviously, Hollywood doesn’t want this story told. But thanks to crowd-funding and streaming, we can by-pass the studio system, finance this film with your help, and bring it to the world.
If you want to help us change hearts and minds, please donate. Any donation is welcome with a minimum of $5 here on GiveSendGo. We also offer a variety of donation perks...
Perks like crew T-shirts, a signed copy of the final movie poster, an autographed copy of the shooting script, or even (for our most generous sponsor) a walk-on part in the film. To take advantage of these perks, please contact us at hnha@crunchentertainment.com.
Even as little as $5 can help because it shows the world how many of us there are. We’ll be posting the number of supporters on our website. Please, click on the ‘GIVE’ tab. You can also find a lot more info at the movie website: www.HeNamedHimAdam.com. Help us make a difference. Let’s save lives.

Praying for all the success for this venture!
This is a wonderful thing you are doing. I will get the word out to help everyone know about this.
I pray this movie truly is made so all can hear Regina's voice and God's especially.
So glad you guys are showing that abortion is a long term sorrow. These women are in such pain, and still the marketing campaign for them to get abortions rages forward. Hopefully, many post abortive women and pro-choice people see this film and it opens and changes their hearts.
Continued prayers for this ministry. Love y’all
Thank you!
Important message to get out there
Good luck Marc.
My son told me he remembers choosing to be a boy before he was born or even conceived. He looked at two pools, one pink and one blue and he jumped into the blue. He told me he met his sister there as well. I thought about it and wondered if his dad had a child he didn’t know about. It hit me then. She WAS his sister. Child I aborted at 5 weeks, mine and my husband’s, his dad’s
Thank you for taking this story to the masses. I too was told my child was nothing but a clump of cells and with understanding of what I had really done, grew to regret my decision as all women do who are honest with themselves. When I went through Christian counseling to embrace God's forgiveness, I was asked to name my child. His name is Adam and I will meet him some day. Blessings to you.
Keep up the good work - we can't wait for the movie !!
Important type of story that needs to be told. As a labor and delivery nurse I have seen so much guilt in women. So many abortions have been done and much trauma to women and families. The truth is powerful and needs be be out in the open.
Thank You & GOD Bless You All.
God is Great

We’ve got exciting news about the HE NAMED HIM ADAM movie.
Thanks to your kind contributions, we raised enough money to shoot a trailer for our film. Many of the pro life national influencers we’ve talked to are supportive but want to see what we could do.
Last month, we hired Suzy Sachs, the LA casting director who cast UNPLANNED. She had nationwide auditions and sifted through thousands of actors’s reels and submitted the best to Veronica and me. We found some terrific actors and found it hard to select our Regina because three of them were so good. We finally settled on one. The next day, before Suzy sent the offer, a new actor submitted an audition and Suzy called us right away to evaluate her. She ‘blew us away’ with her riveting performance. We asked for a ‘call back’ and she did even better. While she’s had some small roles before, she’s basically a fresh, new face. What a find!
Our actors came from LA, Philadelphia, Palm Beach, Atlanta, Nashville and two from Chattanooga.
Last week, we shot twelve scenes and are currently editing a trailer. If you’re on Facebook, take a look at our Crunch Entertainment Facebook page. There are lots of behind the scenes photos there. We had a stellar crew of 16 pros who worked long days to make these scenes come to life. We also posted two of the scenes that we shot.
You can also see them here:

We’ll take these scenes and the trailer to raise the rest of the money to make this important movie.
Veronica and I are so grateful for your support!
