<br The list encompasses filmmakers, writers, creators, studio executives, and others involved in film and television who have contributed significantly to genuine storytelling and coverage of leading world faiths and spirituality over the previous year.
Previous honorees of the Impact Report include notable figures such as Mahershala Ali, Jesse Eisenberg, Jon Erwin & Kelly Merryman Hoogstraten, Sarah & Erin Foster, Sterlin Harjo, and Charley Humbard.
This year’s esteemed list will be featured in the December 3 edition of Variety and will be celebrated at the second annual Variety Faith and Spirituality in Entertainment Honors, graciously presented by the Coalition for Faith and Media (CFAM).
