I made shrimp and grits for our church's men's group this morning. Even better was Pastor Randy's lesson on Daniel in the Lion's Den. I've loved that story since I was a boy, but Pastor Randy helped us see it in a whole new light!

Your short bit in Christmas Grace was memorable. You generally seem to be a pretty natural actor. You're good at locking in and responding and not anticipating or giving away subtle "tells." You make your takes look as though they are happening for the first time, which is great. I felt li...

Hattie Kauffman spoke at the latest Mastermedia NYC event, and shared the story she kept buried for decades. While the Emmy-award-winning journalist was interviewing leaders of state, Olympians and astronauts she was still reeling from the pain of growing up in a family split by alcoholism. Her pa...

I just did ADR (additional digital recording) for the film Rather to Be Chosen, in which Joyce and I play the parents of the protagonist.

To celebrate one step closer to the film's release I'm posting this video we put together of the transitional shave. Just before filming in the spring I still h...

Zack Lawrence, with whom I'll be teach this summer at the Rocky Mountain Christian Filmmakers Camp, said every Christian in America should watch Seven Deadly Words. It tells the story of a church at a crisis, and dealing with it in some ungodly ways, which leads to a poor witness to the hurting wor...

At the Christian Worldview Film Festival and Guild we had dinner with the Austin family. Amelia played our daughter, her brother Micah was second assistant camera operator, and their mother, Liz, worked on our hair and makeup.

They picked my brain about directing the young protagonist of this swee...

It is with a very heavy heart that I announce that Joyce and I have resigned from The MasterWorks Festival.
I’ve been a part of the Festival every year since theatre was introduced in 1999, and I’ve directed the theatre program for a full decade, so this was a terribly hard decision, but we make ...

It was brought to my attention that YouTube is blocking some of my videos when users are in Safety Mode. I assure you I haven't started uploading offensive content! It seems to be an issue for a lot of family-friendly YouTube channels including Lego films for children, fishing and frolicking dogs. ...

Rich, I don't know if I ever officially thanked you for all that you've done! Being able to go to MasterWorks was a dream come true, and it happened only through God's Providence! And MW FAR exceeded any expectations I had! I was floored when I saw all the talent that I was getting a chance to work ...

It was fun seeing my name in the trailers if only as a donor. So glad I contributed to Love Covers All! It's a beautiful film written and directed by Kyle Prohaska, who worked on post production for Christmas Grace.

It's about a young man trying to get home... in many ways: Most pressing is his d...

The Song is inspired by the Song of Solomon but soon turns to Ecclesiastes. Scripture from both of Solomon's Books serves as a narrative as this modern telling of Solomon's life. That narrative is beautiful at times, poignant at others.

"I don't play those kind of games! There's the door!" Gold. If you hit that peak performance even a few times in your career it's a happy thing. You were radiating the part so perfectly you caused an honest performance in your scene partner, too. I could watch that short moment multiple ti...
