Richard Dutcher and LDS film (Part 1)0
It’s difficult to argue Richard Dutcher isn’t still the Father of Modern LDS Cinema, and regardless of your feelings towards his current relationship with the LDS Church, his comments on LDS cinema should still be heard and respected.

Recently, Dutcher gave a five-part, seven-hour interview with Dan Wotherspoon from Mormon Stories. Rather than simply mention and link to the interview, I thought I would add my own comments from each of the five sections in separate posts regarding issues in LDS cinema brought up in that segment (including his own films and others).
