Faith-Based Movie, Square Pegs (2024), set for August Screening in Austin
EntSun News/11031576
WHEN: August 19, 2024 at 6:45pm. WHERE: Cinemark Pflugerville/Tinseltown (north of Austin, just east of I-35 between Grand Avenue Parkway and Wells Branch Parkway).
AUSTIN, Texas - EntSun -- "The sell-out premiere of Square Pegs in Georgia proves what major studios already know," says James Houston Turner, who wrote Square Pegs and whose company, Ruby Rock Films, produced the movie with Tri-Rahn Pictures. "Audiences want uplifting, faith-based content that entertains as well as inspires."
Square Pegs follows the journey of Pastor Mac McCoy and his bartender daughter, Jodie, who end up in a courtroom battle with one another after the accidental death of a family member, with each blaming the other for what happened. Resentments boil over in the judge's chambers when Mac and Jodie accuse each other of not knowing what it's like to "walk in my shoes." So the judge orders them to trade places at work for a week and find out. Screencritix called Square Pegs "a heartwarming drama that tackles universal themes of faith, doubt, family, and forgiveness."

The movie has three intertwined themes, one of which is "church" and how it is not so much where we go but who we are. Known for his award-winning series of spy novels, Turner says the theme was inspired by the Christians he met behind the old Iron Curtain during his Bible-smuggling days. Many were not able to "go" to church because it was forbidden by the communist government. So they became the church, where the gospel spread like wildfire on a one-to-one basis. Square Pegs has scooped three writing awards, two "Best Actor/Actress" awards, a "Best Director" award, and one "Best Picture" award.
Another of the movie's themes, forgiveness, stems from Turner's battle against cancer, where he was not expected to live 18 months. "It's now been more than 33 years," he explains, "but the memories of those frightening early years helped me frame one particular scene, where a church elder tells the unforgiving Jodie that life has an expiration date and none of us knows when that is. "The time is now for forgiveness," adds Turner. "There may not be time down the road."

The movie is by no means heavy-handed. One of the humorous scenes involves a pickled-egg-eating contest between Jodie and a bar patron. The end credits showcase takes of Jodie's various on-set "challengers," including Director Bill Rahn. Turner says it's worth staying for the credits to see people spitting out those peppered hardboiled eggs.
Because the screening is private, tickets must be purchased through the Square Pegs website at www.squarepegsmovie.com. The movie will be available on streaming platforms later this summer.
