Feature: Interview with Bonhoeffer movie Producer John Scanlon
Heaven’s Metal Editor Doug Van Pelt sat down with Bonhoeffer Producer John Scanlon for a video interview about the new film, which has quickly become the first big hit for Angel Studios.
Turns out Scanlon went to the infamous Warehouse Christian Ministries Church in Sacramento, California, that spawned great art in the ’80s. This is where the 77s, Charlie Peacock, Vector, Steve Scott, and hard rockers First Strike came from.
This film is perhaps the best faith-based film you’ve ever seen, because it’s simply a great work of art. Check out the trailer at the bottom of this post if you want a better look. For now, please sit down and check out this interview with Producer John Scanlon.
