Producer’s statement:
Crunch Entertainment is an award-winning, independent film production company. Our goal is to make powerful, highly entertaining, kingdom-oriented films that positively impact the culture. Our latest project is He Named Him Adam, the inspiring, true-life story of Regina Block.
Knowing the power of film, we are fighting back to restore a culture of life by bringing this powerful story of healing and redemption to the world. We believe this story will change hearts and minds and offer hope to untold numbers of women who have left the church, suffering in silence from post-abortion regret. People who have had abortions continue to vote for abortion because it upholds their choice. A great, true-life story that inspires millions can do more for the pro-life cause than marches, ads, and speeches. We hope to inspire increased global awareness on the very real issue of post-abortion regret in a similar way that Sound of Freedom inspired a national discussion on human trafficking.

Veronica began her career as an apprentice actor with Jon Strasberg’s Mirror Repertory Company in New York where she studied acting with mentor and fellow company member Geraldine Page.

Theater directing highlights include productions of Fences, Crimes of the Heart, and Lulu’s Last Stand.
Shifting her focus to film, Veronica climbed her way up the Hollywood food chain by working in production offices, analyzing scripts for top production companies, and working nearly every crew position imaginable in independent films.
