Sean McNamara has built a career on telling uplifting, family-driven stories that balance emotion with hope. From Soul Surfer to The Miracle Season, he’s shown a knack for bringing real-life tales to the big screen in a way that connects with audiences of all ages. With Soul On Fire, he once again taps into that talent, taking on a deeply personal story.
Based on John O’Leary’s bestselling memoir On Fire: The Seven Choices to Ignite a Radically Inspired Life, the film is inspired by the true story of a nine-year-old boy who suffers life-threatening burns in a devastating accident. With the odds stacked against him, John’s journey to recovery is fueled by the unwavering love of his family, the support of his community, and the kindness of his hero, legendary sportscaster Jack Buck. It’s a powerful story of faith, resilience, and the will to keep going when everything seems lost.
If you’re a fan of feel-good stories that also carry real emotional weight, On Fire looks like one to watch. Mark your calendar for October 10. This is the kind of movie that could leave you thinking about it long after the credits roll.
