Follow on Google News | Jenn Gotzon on-fire In 2014 Oscar Annulled Film Opens Father’s Day Weekend starring Kelly GreysonJenn Gotzon plays historical British captive Lydia in ‘Alone Yet Not Alone’, which was nominated (then retracted) for an Academy Award this year for Best Song performed by Joni Eareckson Tada.
By: Jenn Gotzon 'Alone Yet Not Alone' is a true-story, historical documented movie following the best-selling book by Tracy Leininger Craven about their family line from the 1700's with the survival of two young sisters Barbara and Regina Leininger fighting to reunite during the French and Indian War. Through the family, Kelly Greyson ('Return to the Hiding Place' – up next 'Double Identity') plays Barbara Leininger who excellently exhibits action and athleticism. Gotzon plays the historic, young woman named Lydia from England who settled in Pennsylvania near the Blue Mountains - ironically, the same place where Gotzon grew up and a few miles from one of the oldest standing log cabins in United States, the 1700's Siegfried Log Cabin in Bath, PA. Gotzon's character Lydia was the caretaker for the Leininger girls while they were held captive. She sacrificed herself to save the children and was burned to death as an example of what would happen to anyone who escapes. Lydia, as documented in history, transcended fear and pain into a divine, supernatural peace from God capturing the movie's theme when you feel alone, you are not alone for God will never leave you or forsake you. "Jenn's portrayal of Lydia being burned on the stake gave me chills." commented journalist Faithflix. Gotzon has filmed over fifteen inspirational, redemptive and/or faith-based movies since the release of 'Frost/Nixon' and won awards for several of them including her role as Laura Reaper in 'Doonby" (Film Advisory Board, 2013) and Meghan Doherty in 'God's Country' (Pocono Mountain Film Festival, 2013). Both movies released theatrically and are now available on Netflix. Gotzon specializes in character transformations and historical depictions. She just wrapped portraying Mary Kay Slessinger Rich filmed in Buffalo, NY directed by Greg Robbins based on Mary Kay's book "You're It" and commences production on suspense drama "Sinking Sand" directed by Brian Yarbrough where Gotzon will play the film's main character Brooke McHenry who faces the challenges of a hopeless marriage, a criminal framing and the choice to save her marriage. Kevin Sizemore (ABC's hit show 'The Resurrection') Gotzon aims to do movies that impact & inspire audiences (ie. the first silent faith-based movie 'The Good Book' directed by Sharon Wilharm screened last month at Cannes Film Festival & first action faith-based movie 'Forgiven' directed by Kevan Otto opposite Kevin Sorbo) and uses her growing platform "Inspiring Audiences" to speak positive uplifting messages of hope into people's lives. Gotzon is a positive role model for the 21st Century with the ultimate goal to make a positive change in culture through media. Book Jenn Gotzon as your motivational speaker at your next event.
