(Los Angeles, CA, November 15, 2016) – The grand journey towards a purposeful life continues in the captivating new film, THE ULTIMATE LEGACY, arriving on DVD and Digital HD January 3 from Cinedigm (NASDAQ: CIDM). The beloved film franchise based on acclaimed author and motivational speaker Jim Stovall’s best-selling “Ultimate Gift” book series, THE ULTIMATE LEGACY follows the worldwide hits The Ultimate Gift and The Ultimate Life.

Featuring returning fan-favorite stars Logan Bartholomew (The Ultimate Life, Love’s Long Journey), Lee Meriwether (The Ultimate Gift, The Ultimate Life) and Golden Globe^® winner Brian Dennehy (The Ultimate Gift, Death of a Salesman), THE ULTIMATE LEGACY also stars Myko Olivier (“Glee,” “Castle”) and Ali Hillis (Must Love Dogs), along with outstanding performances by veteran actors Raquel Welch (Fantastic Voyage, One Million Years B.C.), Doug Jones (Pan’s Labyrinth, Hellboy series) and Bill Cobbs (Night at the Museum, Oz, The Great and Powerful).

Directed by Joanne Hock (Trinity Goodheart) and also produced and written by Rick Eldridge (The Ultimate Gift), THE ULTIMATE LEGACY continues the journey of character Jason Stevens (Bartholomew), as he learns firsthand the value of teaching.  Jason must provide guidance to a self-absorbed young man, Joey Anderson (Olivier), who is forced to run his family’s bed-and-breakfast for a year before earning his inheritance in his late grandmother’s will.  As part of Joey’s journey to purpose, he is challenged to grow a conscience and learn to appreciate hard work, forgiveness, generosity and the enduring value of family and friends.  

Carrying a powerful message of hard work, generosity and family values, THE ULTIMATE LEGACY was hailed as “an inspiring film” by The Dove Foundation, and was awarded the “Family Approved” seal for children ages 12 and above.

Timed to the tenth anniversary of the release of The Ultimate Gift, The Heartland Film Festival will hold a premiere event for this latest installment in the treasured franchise. Taking place October 21 in Indianapolis, franchise star Brian Dennehy will also be honored with a “Lifetime Achievement Award” at this special celebration.

THE ULTIMATE LEGACY will also be the cornerstone for a special benefit to honor St. Jude’s Las Vegas Hospital with producer Rick Eldridge and star Lee Meriwether at Red Rock Casino Theaters on October 27.
