HEATHENS has officially been selected for the 29th United Nations Association Film Festival at Stanford.
The documentary was selected by jury from nearly 600 submissions for this year’s festival, themed Passion for Change.
I’m one of five people featured in the film, each navigating what it means to stop hiding a change in belief and deal with the very real consequences that come with choosing honesty over conformity.
One of the unexpected gifts of this project has been the people I’ve gotten to share it with. My castmates have become friends, and some of them have already been introduced to many of you through conversations on my channel. We came into this project with different stories and different experiences, but there’s something about having your life documented alongside other people that creates a bond all its own.
What makes this selection especially significant is UNAFF’s connection to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Article 18 protects freedom of thought, conscience and religion—including the freedom to change what you believe.
So a documentary about people exercising the freedom to change their beliefs has been selected by a festival grounded in the recognition that doing so is a human right.
There’s much more about HEATHENS that I’ll be able to share soon, including the official trailer and website.
For now, we celebrate the selection: HEATHENS is headed to UNAFF.

About Series: Sit In It explores how emotional avoidance causes people to retreat not only from pain, but also from possibility—and how developing emotional flexibility allows us to reclaim agency, responsibility, and participation in our own lives.
Keep in mind that Coffee Hour begins immediately after our Sunday Session:

My newest book dropped today! Starting tomorrow it will be free for the next 5 days. Get a copy and leave a review!
A day of celebration becomes a nightmare no one saw coming.
What begins as a frantic attempt to correct one mistake quickly becomes something far more unsettling. As daylight disappears and the distance between safety and danger grows, he is forced to confront the consequences of pride, hesitation, and trying to handle too much alone.
Inspired by a dream, HELP! is a tense short story about family, responsibility, helplessness, and the terrifying moment when asking for help may already be too late.
