The Weigels

Joshua and Rebekah Weigel are award-winning filmmakers and the founders of Peacetree Productions, a company dedicated to creating spiritually significant films that highlight urgent social issues. Joshua began his career on national commercials for brands such as Disney and McDonald’s. Rebekah, a writer and producer with a background in psychology, has dedicated her life to working with organizations that support vulnerable children and families. The two collaborated on The Butterfly Circus, an internationally acclaimed short film that won over 35 festival awards and became a viral sensation. The Weigels went on to co-write and produce Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot, based on the true story of 22 families in rural Texas who adopted 77 children from the foster care system. As adoptive parents themselves, they were deeply moved by the story and relocated from Los Angeles to Texas to bring the film to life.
