Lead actor Janako says, “Eddie really did an amazing job making this an eye-opening and thought-provoking project viewable for everyone.”  Lead actress Krystal Farris agrees, “Eddie is an incredibly gifted director who has courageously chosen to bring this piece to life.  It’s a story for the world and I am thrilled to have been part of the journey.”  The strength of this web series is that each character is written with in-your-face honesty when dealing with Christianity and homosexuality. No one group is vilified or afforded sainthood which makes is highly relatable. “I want to tell stories of populations you rarely see in front of the camera or in the front pews of church,” said Griffith said.  “Ken is the voice of men and women who are silently working out their own salvation and secrets.”
