Director Statement

This is the third in the Hypocrites series as Pastor Householder and his wife try to stay hip to ways of marketing their church by making a commercial. Going back to the premise of The Hypocrites, Pastor Tommy and Catherine's imperfections are on full display in an attempt on my part to convey that that are no perfect churches or people in them; just a bunch of people trying to get worship right .... in spite of themselves.
