Writer and producer Shawn Svoboda and Jarret LeMaster on the making of Turn Around Jake DVD

Jarret and Shawn first met at a church, in First Pomona Baptist Church in California to be exact. There Le Master is a worship leader and with that talent and with some deadlines he had to meet by, he wrote more than 15 songs and composed the score for the film in less than a month. Turn Around Jake was filmed in almost 2 weeks as writer Shawn Svoboda was on vacation and with a budget of less than a quarter of a million. He wrote the script for the movie in approximately 8 weeks and it was inspired by the Bible story of the prodigal son. Since he started writing scripts almost 2 decade ago and producing several plays, Svoboda‰ۡó»s goal has always been to tell stories inspired by parables and impact people and society with Jesus‰ۡó» message. Even though his experience to actually produce one of his scripts took some time to come. To Shawn, the story of Turn Around Jake DVD is all about redemption. No matter how your life feels like it‰ۡó»s far away from where it‰ۡó»s supposed to be, that it‰ۡó»s always a good time to change it and turn your life around. But that sometimes that experience of turning your life back around may cause pain because of the consequences of some of those past choices. For Jarret, he felt very identified with his character. As an actor, he himself was living a self-centered life but later on decided to let God guide him and use him as He‰ۡó»d like. In Shawn‰ۡó»s case he too at some point in his life fell away from God‰ۡó»s purpose and due to that was losing his productiveness in his ministry.

Since he started the production for this film he wanted true Christian actors to play these characters. To him to have somebody who‰ۡó»s a non-believer to play a role of a Christian makes their performance seem very irregular. He wanted Christian actors because once God entered their lives it showed and they represent truly what is having God in their life.

One of the testimonies that impacted Jarret very much is about a young man from where he is from who was a slave to drugs and was not doing very well. On his way home to try to obtain drugs, he accepted his mother‰ۡó»s offer to watch Turn Around Jake and by the middle of the film, he cried and right then and there decided to change his life, to become different and give his life to the Lord. The man decided to join a support group and a recovery program. In the present, he has no more dependency on drug and is working with Jarret himself in one of his worship groups. This was the reason why he wanted to be a part of this film, to impact people in this way.

Turn Around Jake DVD was made to encourage viewers and make them look at their own lives. To introduce non-believers to Jesus and show the significance of what being a true Christian is. Also encourages believers to keep on praying for their loved ones who don‰ۡó»t know Christ or have strayed.
