Episode #80: Telling The True History Of Joseph Smith In Film/W David W. Patton &Michael Ness

So, no matter how you feel about the events and persons the movie Sound of Freedom is based on the fact remains that the movie did far better than what was expected. I mean, it knocked off Indiana Jones now couple that with the success of the TV show The Chosen and now we can see a pattern. That pattern is that society as a whole is starving quality entertainment of real spiritual substance. Today on the podcast I have David W. Patton and Michael Ness. Now if you remember about a year ago, I had David on the podcast. He is an independent film maker who was starting the process of making a movie about Joseph Smith. Well, the plans on that have changed and it will now be a six-season series with Michael Ness helping out to help ensure historical accuracy. We talk about the state of the mainstream film industry today, how these two men plan on making a series about Joseph Smith that is historically accurate, the blessings they have seen in the process, and how you the listener can get involved to help the series get made. Along the way in our conversation, we also talk about how story telling is important to a society, the need for true history to be told, and some pretty interesting tangents about Joseph Smith
