“‘The Pulpit’ is a powerful and important story about advocacy, especially in a time in America when love and inclusion are being threatened by prejudice and violence.”
“Everything about me, as a filmmaker, is about advocacy.”
“Filmmaking is the greatest metaphor for life….. It takes every department to make the picture whole.”
“Writing for myself and self-producing has not only been the most artistically fulfilling work I’ve done, it’s also been the greatest asset to my career.”
“The film debuted to strongly favorable audience reaction at the KC Film Festival this last April. It is also steadily reaching viewers on YouTube.”
