I'm a giant softy, for sure, but I honestly think these days it's probably considered more masculine to be emotionally connected.
I studied science and journalism at the University of Colorado and then got interested in experimental film there and started doing my own films.
Secular writers can tell a story about the physical, the emotional, and the intellectual parts of a character. But no matter how well they tell the story, they miss a facet that is innately part of all of us - the spiritual.
