Director Statement

Sanctus Gladio (a Latin phrase for "holy sword") is my first serious short film. The spirit of this story was to humanize priesthood and reflect on the responsibilities it entails in our modern day. My hope is that it resonates with people of all beliefs and maybe even stirs some discussion.
