Filmmaker Bio:
We began making retreat videos after Confirmation, gathering a Core Team and building a ministry within the church to make Catholic-messaged videos for Life-Nights. For our last retreat video we went to St. Tim’s, AZ, to film and we continue to include our neighboring parishes. Filming is a passion of ours here at St. Dorothy’s.

YOUCAT/Catechism Inspiration:
Celebrating the beauty of the sacraments from Part Two of the YOUCAT and also answering the question from Part Three: Section 1 “Why do we need faith and the sacraments in order to live a good life?”
This is one of the most ambitious films and a true community effort! You have a wonderful sense for capturing the beauty of God’s creation, so well depicted in this film. I appreciate the script work and acting and hope you all continue to produce and share more! God bless you for your efforts as others are blessed because of them!
Engaging, creative film. Strong acting. Excellent production value. Inspiring message
-Dr. James Kauffman
There are some great moments here, specially the outdoor scenes. Get’s a bit disjointed though and the acting toward the end could be better. Too long – some serious editing would have helped the film greatly.
