“DAVID is the movie for families this Christmas — a film that reminds us why we go to the theater together,” said Brandon Purdie, EVP & Head of Theatrical and Brand Development at Angel Studios. “As seen in the teaser trailer, this story captures the heart of the boy who faced a giant — a celebration of courage, faith, and the power of believing in something bigger than yourself. We’re seeing incredible excitement from theater owners and families alike. DAVID is more than a movie — it’s a cinematic event that will bring generations together this Christmas.”

DAVID is the highest Guild-rated film in Angel’s history, scoring a 98 out of 100. The cast is led by multi-platinum selling artist Phil Wickham as the adult David and actor, dancer, and singer Brandon Engman who voices David as a youth.

“What an incredible moment to finally reveal the story that the most wonderful team has been working on for over a decade. A story that has been woven into the tapestry of the human experience for over 3000 years. We are so delighted to be able to share it with the world and hopefully inspire a whole new generation to stand in the face of fear and conquer the giants they face,” says director Brent Dawes of Sunrise Animation Studios.

For over three decades, creator Phil Cunningham has dreamed and fought to bring this story to big screens. “I couldn’t be more thrilled that this film is releasing during the holiday season, where families can put down their phones and come together in the theater to be inspired by David’s hope, courage, and faith. Our greatest wish is that audiences of all ages will be inspired by David’s story and reminded of the power of trusting God through every challenge.”
