Interesting facts

  • Filmed in: New Mexico

Priceless is a 2016 American Christian romantic drama film about human trafficking, inspired by true events. It was directed by Ben Smallbone and produced by Steve Barnett with a screenplay by Chris Dowling and Tyler Poelle. Starring singer Joel Smallbone of For King and Country, Bianca Santos, Amber Midthunder, Jim Parrack, and David Koechner, it tells the story of a man who has his life changed when he inadvertently delivers two women into the hands of sex traffickers and resolves to save them.

Production

The film was announced in 2015. It was inspired by director Ben Smallbone's work on a documentary that followed a former pimp who rescued people from human trafficking, and by the band For King & Country's emphasis on respecting women. Joel Smallbone said, "Part of the DNA of For King & Country is this idea of respect and honor in relationships and women being priceless. What we've found in our beliefs as men is that people are made equal.

It was filmed in Albuquerque, New Mexico, beginning in August 2015. Joel Smallbone, who is originally from Australia, worked with dialect coach Steve Corona to "play a bloke from Houston".

Roadside Attractions acquired the distribution rights to the film in August 2016. Roadside Attractions co-president Howard Cohen said, "'Priceless' is a film that will push those emotional buttons which can engage and transform."

The film was made with four members of the Smallbone family: brothers Joel, Luke, and Ben Smallbone, and their father, David Smallbone.
