Trivia / Let There Be Light (2017)

• Actor-Shared Background: Pastor Vinny describes his former life as a Mafia member who served time in prison before converting to Christianity; his actor, Michael Franzese, is indeed a former mobster convicted of several crimes who spent several years in prison in Real Life before giving up crime and becoming a Christian motivational speaker (though not a minister).
• Descended Creator: Sean Hannity financed and executive produced the movie, and appears As Himself in it.
• Directed by Cast Member: Kevin Sorbo stars and directs the film.
• Follow the Leader: The movie seems to try to cash in the success of God's Not Dead by attaching the star of the aforementioned film as a very similar character.
• He Also Did: One of the writers of the film, Dan Gordon, also wrote Surf Ninjas.
• Real-Life Relative: Harkens' ex-wife, Katy, and their children (except Davey) are played by Kevin Sorbo's wife, Sam Sorbo, and their two children, Braeden and Shane.
• Recycled Script: The premise is the same as God's Not Dead: a Christian played by Kevin Sorbo loses a relative and becomes a militant atheist, until he is involved in a car accident and regrets it.
• Written by Cast Member: Sorbo's wife, Sam, co-wrote the script and plays the role of Katy.
