Found a great blog– Catholic in Film School
Here’s the New Evangelization in action…and cut!! A young Catholic film school student blogs at:

Good stuff. People of faith need to do more than boycott movies that offend our beliefs. People of faith need to go to film school, learn how to make movies, and get involved in a segment of the popular culture that has been too long without the influence of Christians.

Go to the website of Relevant Radio:

…and go to the archives section. You have to sign in to get to the archives page. Then go to the archives page for Morning Air, where they have a one-hour segment with Rod Bennett, who talks about “It’s a Wonderful Life”, based on an article he wrote for Godspy called “The Gospel According the Frank Capra.” Towards the end of the interview he basically says that during the Golden Age of movies, the great moviemakers were all Catholics (Capra, Hitchcock, others). Worth a listen. Hurry, though, because they only keep the archives up for a couple weeks after the show airs. This interview aired December 19th, 2007.

Thank you for the compliment Clare!!
Most people don’t know that that Catholics have a LONG legacy in art and media. Pope John Paul II was even a playwright. I see the “New Evangelization” as really just a revival and a continuation of that legacy, hopefully I can live up to it.
