Meet The Author
Sheri Lynn Riley
screenwriter, lyricist, and composer
A Visionary Storyteller and Unencumbered Creator
Sheri Lynn Riley is the dynamic creative engine behind the screenplay and
original soundtrack for When Heaven Moved Earth. As the sole screenwriter,
lyricist, and composer, Sheri brings a rare, unified vision to the project.
Because she owns 100% of the intellectual property for both the script and
the music, investors benefit from a streamlined, highly profitable
production model free of complex third-party licensing hurdles. Over 45 Years of
Creative Excellence
Sheri’s cinematic and musical sensibilities are rooted in a lifetime of
performance and production.
Her earliest memories are of her father performing in musical theater, which led
to her own extensive classical training in piano and voice. For over 45 years,
she has worn almost every hat in the creative arts: award-winning television
host, radio copywriter, commercial voice-over artist, and lead singer in the
Christian rock band Dunamis. She has toured across the U.S. and Eastern Europe
with the Continental Singers and continues to release acclaimed contemporary
Christian music, including her recent albums Trust Him, Love Matters, and I'll
Be Fine. The Professional Edge: Education, and Execution. What makes Sheri an
exceptional partner for investors is her formidable professional discipline. She
is not only an artist; she holds a Double B.S. in English and Theater Education,
alongside a Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction. This unique
combination of academic rigor ensures she approaches filmmaking with meticulous
organization, an elite understanding of copyright and IP, and an unwavering
commitment to executing complex projects on a professional level.
Mastering Audience Connection
Sheri understands her target demographic intimately. Having spent years as a
writing professor, middle and high school educator, and motivational speaker,
she credits her teaching career for her profound ability to connect deeply with
an audience. She has an established track record of blending music with
faith-based education; her published book, Prayer Flash: Snapshots of Abundant
Living, features a unique formula she developed to transform her original song
lyrics into active Bible studies.
A Mission-Driven Legacy
Today, as a proud "Mimi"(Grand Ma) , Sheri’s overarching mission is to create
entertainment that encourages others to live a more abundant, hope-filled life.
With When Heaven Moved Earth, she leverages her decades of storytelling, her
soaring original music, and her deep-rooted faith to deliver a highly commercial
holiday musical that will resonate with audiences for generations.
