Distributors turn down a lot of films and ideas. How did Giants get on the radar of Provident Films, Sony Pictures and Samuel Goldwyn?
During final editing, someone mentioned that the films song by Third Day required permission from Provident Music. Unbeknownst to the Sherwood team, Provident had recently partnered with Sony Pictures to add Christian-focused films to their charter. When Terry Hemmings received the call for a church-made film to use Third Days music, he intended to decline, but he agreed to watch five minutes before giving his customary no. Fifteen minutes into the film, his office was full of people and he was booking a ticket to Albany. Within a short time, Sherwood had contracted with Provident and Sony via Samuel Goldwyn Films to release the film nationally.
