Kristoffer Polaha and Sarah Lancaster Wrap Filming on Rescued

Directed by Trey Reynolds, the film tracks Williams’ transition from the comedy circuit to humanitarian work, specifically chronicling the early days of his organization, CUPS Mission. The production reunites Reynolds with producer Darren Moorman of Reserve Entertainment, following their previous collaboration on the Netflix film Blue Miracle. The cast also features Manny Perez, Jordan Rice, Gilberto Ortiz, and Stelio Savante.

Filming took place entirely within the Dominican Republic, utilizing the local landscape to recreate the setting where Williams began his efforts, which included repairing contaminated water wells and establishing community centers. For Reynolds, the project serves as a call to action for those weighing major life changes. Producer Darren Moorman noted that the film highlights the lasting impact of Williams’ decision to prioritize service over personal success. The project is currently in post-production, with distribution details expected in the coming months.
