Director
Concept - Cameras - Cut
I was raised on the fringes of "Witness Land" and was coerced into baptism as a teenager. I gave it a proper try for a couple years, auxiliary pioneering, before and during university and then went off to Ecuador to see first hand how they operated internationally...I wish I had a camera then because, wow, that's a whole other story!
After Ecuador I faded from the religion permanently. I had made some close friends in it, many of whom have since come out as well. Together we are working on this project.
Content Editor
Video edit, Writing
I was born into the religion and baptized young. In the decade since my exit, I’ve traveled extensively, learned eagerly and forged new relationships. I was inspired by the concept of the project and am excited to be part of the team!
