As someone who claims to know “false gospel” you surely understand the Federalist is mostly guilty of legalism which Jesus REALLY despised. What Jesus would be for is Dolly Parton and a gospel of love. And judging is not up to you…. If you know your gospel. But you don’t.

Directors should listen to Art of the Cut! From Kevin Tent, ACE: Director Henry Ruben, did something I loved. After getting all the takes he needed, he had the actors do the scene w/o any dialogue - do all the action and blocking but don’t speak. We wound up using a lot of it.
