“Big Dreams Little Tokyo”
This film offers easy laughs. Filmed and previewed
in Salt Lake City in the summer of ’06, it is
the story of Boyd, an American who speaks fluent Japanese
and aspires to succeed in Japanese business. We see
a chronicle of frustrations. His roommate Jerome, a
Japanese American, meanwhile feels too American to
be Japanese and too Japanese to be American. He aspires
to be a sumo wrestler. Together they struggle to find
a place in the world where cultural identity is seldom
what is seems.

“For the Bible Tells Me So”
A highly acclaimed film premiered at Sundance in January,
2007 and nominated for their Grand Jury Prize, followed
by The Audience Award for Best Documentary at Seattle’s
International Film Festival. Through the experiences
of five very normal, very Christian, very American
Families—including those of former House Majority
Leader Richard Gephardt and Episcopalian Bishop Gene
Robinson—we discover how insightful people of
faith handle the realization of having a gay child.
Respected voices of a Bishop, a Rabbi and a Reverend
are added. This film offers healing, clarity and understanding
to anyone caught in the crosshairs of scripture and
sexual identity.
