IDAHO FALLS – Nearly two decades after leaving The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Richard Dutcher is still proud to be known as “the father of Mormon cinema.”
The 60-year-old Utah man behind the 2000 film “God’s Army,” and three other titles, is raising funds for his first faith-based film in 16 years. It’s called “Jesus is Enough” and is about a Latter-day Saint missionary who becomes a born again Christian. He’s hoping to begin production soon.
During a conversation with EastIdahoNews.com, the independent filmmaker reflected on his career and offered his perspective on the evolution of the Latter-day Saint film industry over the years.
