Audio By Carbonatix

Producer John Shepherd sits down with Michael Foust to share the remarkable true story behind Sarah’s Oil, the upcoming film about 11-year-old Sarah Rector, whose shocking discovery of oil in early-1900s Oklahoma propelled her into wealth and placed her faith at the center of a battle against greed and prejudice. Shepherd explains why this under-told chapter of American history captivated him, how the Rector family helped guide the project, and what themes of perseverance, community, and God-given purpose he hopes audiences will take away. He also reflects on his filmmaking journey and why true stories of faith continue to resonate so deeply today. He has worked on numerous projects, including The Ultimate Gift, Bobby Jones: Stroke of Genius, Bella, Emmanuel, and the documentary The Dropbox.
