  • Nashville, TN (1888PressRelease) May 30, 2026 - In an era of multimillion-dollar marketing campaigns and studio-backed releases, an independently produced feature film has found unexpected success through audience word-of-mouth. Just One More, a drama exploring addiction, recovery, faith, and second chances, reached the Angel Studios Top 10 within 24 hours of release despite having virtually no traditional marketing budget.

    Produced by independent filmmakers Kyler and Kaleb Cook through their company, Twinbolt Media, the film follows a young woman struggling with opioid addiction whose life is changed by an unlikely friendship with a terminally ill man who spends his final days praying for strangers. The filmmakers believe the film's rapid growth has been fueled by audiences who see their own experiences reflected in the story.

    "We've heard from people in recovery, family members of addicts, and viewers who simply felt seen by the film's honesty," said Kyler Cook. "Many told us they weren't expecting a faith-based movie to portray struggle, relapse, and redemption in such a realistic way."

    Just One More does not present recovery as simple or immediate. Instead, it portrays addiction as an ongoing battle while offering hope and redemption without avoiding difficult realities. The film has also attracted younger viewers who have praised its cinematic style and emotional authenticity, helping it reach audiences beyond traditional faith-based entertainment circles.

    The success of Just One More highlights a growing appetite for faith-centered stories that combine strong filmmaking with emotional honesty and real-world struggles. As the film continues to find new audiences, its creators hope its journey encourages other independent filmmakers to pursue ambitious projects even without major studio backing. Just One More is currently streaming on Angel Studios.
