Inspired by a true story, Letters to God is about an extraordinary eight year-old boy named Tyler that faces his daily battle against cancer with bravery and grace. To Tyler, God is a friend, a teacher and the ultimate pen pal. Tyler's prayers take the form of letters, which he composes and mails on a daily basis. The letters find their way into the hands of a beleaguered postman standing at a crossroads in his life. At first, he is confused and conflicted over what to do with the letters. But the decision he ultimately makes becomes a testament to the quiet power of one boy's shining spirit and unshakeable faith. Letters to God is an intimate, moving and often funny story about the galvanizing effect one child's belief can have on his family, friends and community.
There are major cross promotional campaigns in place with participating book, film and music partners, as well as three weeks of heavy media advertising including television, radio, print and online in advance of the film's release date. A major Christian broadcast network will be airing a music special that will focus on behind the scenes stories and interviews with artists from the soundtrack, and Letters to God will be the exclusive online sponsor of the 41st Annual GMA Dove Awards which airs on the Gospel Music Channel on April 25th.
