- I began to turn to God through a leaf bug. I've said this many times. I saw what looked like a leaf moving. Then realized it was a bug shaped as a leaf, it's only defense mechanism. How could that come from nothing? There had to be a designer.
- I showed our last film, '20 Minutes' at Cannes last year (2019). I think we were the only faith-based film at the festival/market. I now know why. No one applauded. They just looked at me and said I spoke about God too much and left.
- I was an atheist until I was in my 30's. So I was practicing law and then dove into film producing and directing. I did my first film at around age 29. But I had a real emptiness. I found Christ and Christ changed my life. So I set out to make faith-based films and I was one of the pioneers along with my friend Rich Christiano. It was a wonderful time because we weren't making faith-based films to make money but to share the Gospel.
