Renaissance Talent Maria Rose Throws Down Personal Story Inspired by Real Events, SON OF A PREACH, Under Her Pure Dreams Productions Banner

With an active production slate including 10 ready films, 100 original songs, two recorded albums, three published novels, including two more completed, there isn’t much Pure Dreams Productions President & CEO Maria Rose can’t do. 

For Rose, writing is not a choice—it's a calling—a fire in her soul that burns brighter with each word she puts on the page. 

“I know I was born to be a writer. It’s how I thrive.” 

Step into the dark world of addiction and witness the triumphant journey of one man's redemption in Rose's latest work, Son of a Preach. Based on the true story of Raymond Broadwater, this gripping tale will transport its audience to the gritty streets of 1980s New York City, where a con artist masquerading as a magician forges an unbreakable bond with his sister Cynthia amidst the throes of addiction. A tale of tragedy, hope, and the unbreakable human spirit, Son of a Preach is a story that will captivate the heart and leave a renewed sense of hope for the human condition. 

Rose's writing journey was triggered by a single question that consumed her: "What could I have fixed?" Her insatiable curiosity, combined with a keen creative prowess, leads her to draw inspiration from her own life's challenges—a tact she skillfully weaves into stories with captivating narratives. While researching her father's memoir, she stumbled upon the most extraordinary and fascinating life story that she had ever heard. It became the ultimate lead-up inspiring her latest body of work. Rose's passion for storytelling runs deep, driving her newest works where the common theme is to inspire, entertain, and captivate the senses. 

Prepare to be swept away by the raw and gritty story of Raymond Broadwater, a cunning con artist who masqueraded as a magician on the streets of 1980s New York to fuel his opioid addiction. In Son of a Preach, Rose masterfully tells the tale of an anti-hero who lives on the edge, fueled by the adrenaline rush of his performances and the seductive whispers of his inner demons. Broadwater thinks he's found a way to outsmart his past and the system, but as the consequences of his actions pile up, he realizes too late the true cost of his addiction. The electrifying twists and turns of this story will leave audiences on the edge of their seats, questioning the very nature of redemption and the lengths people will go to escape their own demons. 

Through the love and support of his devoted sister, Broadwater learns that anything is possible when you have someone to hold onto. This powerful story boldly shatters the stigma surrounding addiction, offering hope to those who are still struggling and inspiring those who have overcome. An unforgettable journey to freedom. 

Rose’s Son of a Preach draws on raw emotion, going from addiction to triumph, as protagonist Broadwater breaks free from the chains of his mental prison in this groundbreaking drama. 

"It's not about getting clean, drugs don’t make you dirty,” offers Rose. “It’s about breaking free.” 

A tale of tragedy, hope, and the unbreakable human spirit, SON OF A PREACH is a story that will captivate the heart and leave a renewed sense of hope for the human condition.

Rose is determined to bring her powerful story, Son of a Preach, to life on the big screen. With pre-production underway, she is currently in the process of casting her film and has partnered with a name director to support her vision (to be revealed at later press time). With a keen eye for detail, Rose is sure to deliver a film that leaves a lasting impression. 

She is committed to producing more films that matter. “The kind that make people think, dream, and hope.” Rewriting her own life story through fiction and living vicariously through her characters has helped Rose to deal with and process her own personal relationships, such as when her marriage ended. Her unique ability to construct vivid and gripping worlds has further led her to embark into writing her first novel, Betrothed. Her debut screenplay, Hi, My Name is Rachel, is about a couple who switch bodies three days before their wedding (think, Hitch meets Freaky Friday). Fast-forward some years and five novels later, Rose’s now latest project, Son of a Preach, is her new big baby. 

Her creative and diversified roots in entertainment stem from an extensive repertoire, including when she started as a recording artist with an earlier released debut EP, Walking Over Feathers, still available everywhere that music is sold. With vocal influences the like of Jennifer Lopez and Ariana Grande, Rose weaves equally captivating melodic stories as a performer, as well as when she is wielding her mighty pen. 

But that's not all. This multi-talented artist is also a recording artist with her debut EP, Walking Over Feathers, a poetic delivery showcasing her stunning blend of pop vocals; bearing influences from Jennifer Lopez and Ariana Grande. Available everywhere, this debut EP is just the beginning for Rose and what promises to be a welcome extension of her diversified platform and the further lead-up to a thriving career. 

The electrifying twists and turns of this story will leave audiences on the edge of their seats, questioning the very nature of redemption and the lengths people will go to escape their own demons. 

New and upcoming for Rose, she currently has a memoir is in the works, BARE WITH ME: How I Stopped Sabotaging My Life and Discovered My Purpose, which is slated for 2023 release. In addition to her work as an editor on the film short, "Bundles," Rose has recently optioned a rom-com already generating some buzz and deemed to be a box office hit. Further details coming soon. 

Looking ahead, one thing is certain for Rose—her rising star has just begun to shine bright.
