I'm always fascinated by people who tell me they want to do something, or have an idea for something, and then they actually do it. Anyone can be a cynical critic, but actually putting out creative work or building a business is costly, hard work. My friend Stephen Morgan directed, cowrote, and produced his first feature length film and you can watch it! (Links below)
Not only did I want to talk to him about the filmmaking process and all the writing and behind the scenes aspects, but there was another unique angle in this interview. Stephen is a Christian who made an R rated film. As a child who grew up watching TBN nonstop, I was immersed in Christian TV and movies, and not all of them were bad. A lot of them were very good. But there does seem to be a box that Christian content creators are supposed to stay inside. But I don't think we should.
Stephen and I discuss all of this and more in today's interview.
