@breathandboneMay 16Where's the Catholic entertainment companies?
In the last 2 months I’ve been reflecting on a big question. Its one that will likely shape the rest of my creative future moving foward. That question is, can we Catholics build something that eventually stand toe-to-toe with the mainstream entertainment industry. Something that rivals it with truth, beauty, and goodness? Stories that entertain at the highest level while drawing souls toward Christ. Fiction deeply rooted in Sacred Scripture and Sacred tradition. Work that meets modern people where they are, in the world of content and imagination and leaves them changed. I recently restarted my studio, gave it a new name and vision and moved foward with this exact mission after stepping away from a secular audio drama that grew to over 50k followers. Several episodes of a new Catholic audio drama are already written and in pre-production, and multiple book projects are moving forward. How many of you does this resonates with? Whether you’re a writer, artist, composer, voice actor, editor, designer, or someone who simply feels a calling to help build something meaningful and beautiful, I’d love to connect. Drop a comment or message me if you’ve had the same calling, or something similar. God bless, Josh
@amdgfilmsMay 11Virtue of Modesty
Do you ever talk about modesty? Do you ever hear about modesty? Is it forgotten virtue? I am currently working in documentary film about virtue of modesty. Looking for characters, who went through transportation in their lives!

@amdgfilmsMar 25"Nawi: Dear Future Me" Film Review
Nothing has shaken me like Nawi since Sound of Freedom! Let me take you back almost two months—to January 23. I was in Washington, D.C., on a mild winter day, just after filming at the March for Life. Later that afternoon, I was sitting on a train to Baltimore to catch my flight back to Chicago. I was stressed about making it on time. When I finally arrived at the airport, I rushed through security and made it to the gate just in time. Now calm and relaxed, I took my seat on the plane, placed my carry-on above me, and slid my sling bag under the seat. The young gentleman sitting next to me by the window noticed my camera when I unzipped my bag to take out my notebook and iPad. “Are you a photographer?” he asked. “Yes,” I replied. “And a filmmaker.” He smiled. “I’m a filmmaker too.” That was all I needed to forget about being tired after waking up at 4 a.m. and shooting the entire day. And it looked like it was the same for him. Kevin—the gentleman sitting next to me—was the very definition of a filmmaker. He had just returned from a screening of his film Nawi. The person sitting next to me was none other than Kevin Schmutzler, the director of Nawi: Dear Future Me. We talked for almost the entire flight, with short breaks when both of us tried to get some rest. Kevin still had to catch another flight to Germany afterward—which was going to be a very tight (aka impossible) connection. But let me get to the movie. Just two days ago, I received an Instagram message from Kevin saying that Nawi would be screened in Highland Park, just north of Chicago. I didn’t think twice—I immediately bought a ticket. I had already seen the trailer, which gave me a great impression. Kevin had also told me about the film’s subject during our flight: child marriage in Kenya. So I thought I knew what I was getting into. Did I? Read more: https://amdgfilms.com/nawi-dear-future-me/
