Filmmaker Feature
|
Full Name: Michael Wolcott
Title:Filmmaker
Current Project:
"At the moment the biggest project I'm working on is a documentary about Baby Fae, who is the little girl who had hypoplastic left heart syndrome and had the heart of a baboon transplanted into her. It¹s really going to be a story about the love of a mother and the amazing impact of a child who lived a
very short life. We're hoping to finish it early next year and see how it does in festivals."

Why is it important to support Christian Filmmakers?
"I don't know what a Christian filmmaker is, but I would think that as filmmakers and as people we should be making films about poverty, we should be making films with and about prostitutes, drug addicts, alcoholics, sex addicts, corruption, the man dying in the gutter, films that reach out and embrace members of the gay/lesbian/transgender community and others who are
wrongly persecuted in our society. It¹s important to support filmmakers because film is one of those mediums that can come very close to telling the absolute truth, and I know that every now and then I need the truth, or reality, or a film that¹s even more compelling than reality, to come smack me across the face and let me know what¹s actually going on in this world."
Spiritual Truth: "And this is God's plan: Both Gentiles and Jews who believe the Good News share equally in the riches inherited by God's children. Both are part of the same body, and both enjoy the promise of blessings because they belong to Christ Jesus."
