"Letters to God" is based on a true strory about an eight year old boy, who is suffering from cancer but even with this obstacle in his life he still has the drive to write letters to God asking him to help the people around him. The idea of the movie came from a true story that the father wrote about his son after he died.

"This movie was made because cancer touches everybody," said Nixon, "we did it to put out a ray of hope."

The father was present during the whole filming of the movie in Winter Gardens, Florida.

"Filming these types of movies is not overwhelming but it is heartwarming," said Nixon.
