Film (short)
by Big Idea Productions / John Follis
Writer, Director, Producer Few people get honored at The White House. Or The UN. And I actually got honored at both.
Why? Well, Iβd spoil the story if I said. But, what I can say is that it would not have happened if I wasn't home one night watching a TV show on Hitler. This narrative short tells the story.
LEAVING GOD: Why I left God and why so many others are too.

Documentary

'Leaving God' explores this trend and relates it to the filmmakerβs own shifting beliefs. As award-winning writer John Follis shares his story youβll ride along on a wild, challenging, and often comical search for Truth.
