Director Statement

I’m incredibly grateful to Dan Parks for trusting me with my first directing experience. I wanted to tell a story that doesn’t avoid the hard places — five wounded souls meeting in an old church during a robbery — to show that God often works through the mess long before the miracle. My hope was to capture the story Dan intended, in a way that honors both his vision and what God would be proud of.
