"God Votes No" — Free public screening this Saturday, Nov. 3

Update #11 · Nov 1, 2012 · comment

Hi everyone ...

The only public screening before election night for "God Votes No" is 11am this Saturday, Nov. 3, at the Trylon Microcinema in Minneapolis.

Here's a Facebook event page with all the details and a trailer created just for this screening:

The Trylon, is a cozy, 50-seat theater, so get there 10 minutes early to make sure you get a seat. After the screening, we'll have a reception and casual discussion of the film down the street at Junket: Tossed & Found—a vintage goods and clothing store set to open in a few weeks.

Hope you can make it. Would love to see my Kickstarter supporters there!

My documentary is now online. Please share it!

Update #10 · Oct 18, 2012 · comment

Thanks in large part to you, my new documentary is online now! It's called "God Votes No: The Religious Case for Marriage Equality." (Running time 49 minutes)

With the election less than three weeks away, it's critical that you share this in your circle—especially with those who might be on the fence on this issue. The documentary is also posted to the project's home page and on our Facebook page.

Thank you, again, for your critical support—and I'll keep you updated with other developments for this video in the days ahead.
