Success in the entertainment industry is often described as a combination of talent, timing, and determination. For actress, songwriter, and certified chaplain Erin Jo Harris, however, another element has been central to her journey: faith.
Erin Jo recently completed filming as the female lead in a faith based feature film, marking another significant milestone in a career that continues to gain momentum. Set against the backdrop of a diverse family drama, the film explores themes of redemption and challenges audiences to examine the difference between simply performing religious traditions and authentically following Jesus. More than just another acting role, the project represents the fulfillment of a vision that has been unfolding for more than a decade.
A Story Years in the Making
Filmed in Las Vegas, Nevada during May 2026, the production brought together an international cast and crew under what Erin Jo describes as extraordinary circumstances. She believes the project was shaped by countless moments of divine orchestration that aligned the right people, opportunities, and timing.
The film features leading man Kaiwi Lyman alongside writers Billy Crone and John Prescott. Prescott also directed the film, with production led by Get a Life Media. For Erin Jo, the collaboration reflects more than professional excellence. It embodies a shared commitment to telling meaningful stories that resonate beyond entertainment.
This role also marks Erin Jo’s second lead performance in a feature film within the past two years, the former being a sci-fi feature directed by legendary ‘Lost’ director Robert Reed Altman. This latest project, Turning Point, is on target for a theatrical release December 2026 or early 2027,, bringing its message of faith, redemption, and hope to audiences nationwide.
Leading with Faith in a Competitive Industry
Breaking into film can be challenging, particularly in an industry known for uncertainty and intense competition. Erin Jo credits her continued success to maintaining an unwavering foundation rooted in faith.
“In an industry full of ambiguity and gatekeepers, I’ve found the best way to make it is truly to put God first and make Him your business partner, agent and manager. I’ve seen so many miracles and acts of grace in my career, it inspires me to stay in the game and keep trusting God for even more glorious adventures and fulfilling projects.”
Her perspective offers an alternative definition of success, one that values purpose alongside professional achievement. Rather than measuring progress solely through credits and recognition, Erin Jo views each opportunity as part of a greater calling to inspire audiences through storytelling.
Building a Legacy Beyond the Screen
Beyond acting, Erin Jo is a signed songwriter and certified chaplain dedicated to mentoring the next generation of artists. Describing herself as a “Heaven Permaculturist,” she seeks to cultivate environments where creativity, faith, and personal transformation intersect.
As her career continues to expand, Erin Jo remains committed to creating work that uplifts culture while encouraging others to pursue purpose with courage and conviction. In an industry constantly searching for authentic voices, her story demonstrates that faith and artistry can coexist, creating impact both on screen and beyond.
