- Wayne Caparas is a producer, writer, business developer, and occasional performing artist who lives in Nashville. He is the director of Locke Media and the producer of the groundbreaking feature-length documentary, "Come Out In Jesus Name," that premiered in theaters March of 2023. The film chronicles the transformation of Pastor Greg Locke and his wife Tai as they turned away from powerless religion and stepped into the supernatural workings of Jesus as taught in the Bible. The docudrama also explores the awakening that the Lockes and a small group of firebrand preachers are sparking around the world through the radical workings of the Holy Spirit. Wayne also produces the popular podcast "On Point with Pastor Greg Locke" (faith, family, & politics), and several other short documentary concepts at Locke Media, and serves as the senior editor and publisher at Global Vision Press (an arm of Locke Media) with a series of Amazon #1 bestselling books (Spiritual Warfare) written by Pastor Locke.
Before the turn of the century, Wayne was recognized among the top entertainment media pioneers in the fitness industry. His earliest production efforts dealt with the pioneering of fitness sports for broadcast on ESPN. In addition to the development of an award-winning chain of health clubs in Charleston, SC (LifeQuest), Wayne was a co-publisher of Vie Magazine and was instrumental in the conception and launch of the newsstand publication Oxygen Magazine, where he served as a contributing editor and research journalist for its first three years. During this time, Wayne also received extensive training and experience as an actor and director for both film and stage, including long study with the New American Stage Company in New York and Charleston.
His film experience began with the 1988 movie "Quiet Victory," where he worked as the technical director and advisor to director Roy Campanella Jr. for the football-related film. The film featured an all-star cast including Peter Berg, Kyle Chandler, Stephen Dorf, and Michael Nouri. Wayne earned his SAG card in 1994 for his role as prizefighter Pepe Alvarez in Truman Capote's classic "Other Voices Other Rooms," and worked in a number of television movies during the nineties. After a series of life changes, he began working as a freelance writer and media producer, and his creative pursuits shifted to worship arts and non-fiction manuscripts. This trend continued until 2005 when documentary short films and music production took over as his primary creative efforts, and his ministry work centered on the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. In 2008 Wayne released an LP of original songs detailing his testimony titled "Gospel Project" that was well-received by indie critics, and in 2010 he relocated to Nashville to engage the music industry, to write, and to serve a variety of ministries. In 2016 Wayne returned to occasional film acting with recurring roles in The Detour and other network series, and has followed up with several principal and lead roles in non-fiction series and family-friendly films.
Wayne is the author of the anti-aging text, "BioLogic Revelation." The book received strong reviews and endorsements from notable life scientists such as Dr. Josh Axe and Dr. Adriene Denesse.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Kay Sorin
