10-minute independent short film / 1 of 3 film trilogy / Written and directed by Karson Utzinger

This film is about Dennis Kieth, a celibate gay Christian who is struggling to find acceptance within both the church and society at large. Through its powerful narrative and blend of six diverse character actors, the symbolic imagery delivers a closer, more intimate depiction of a rarely acknowledged yet growing segment within the Christian church. For the Love of God seeks to challenge viewers' perspectives on faith and community.

Our mission: To foster empathy, understanding and inspired awareness for the emotional complexities and personal sacrifices often realized in seeking faith as a sexual minority.
