The filmmaker is available to Skype or attend your screening/discussion in person for a very reasonable honorarium.

The Summit of Faiths was honored to show this fantastic film. The room was filled and the audience was thoroughly engaged and excited. People of varied faith traditions really appreciated the well-presented thoughtful viewpoints.

When my committee decided to have a screening, we asked Joshua Gippin, the film’s creator, to join us for a Q&A. Not only did the film examine the concept of "chosenness" in a thoughtful way, but Josh's warm and nonjudgemental presence prompted the many people in attendance to enthusiastically participate in a stimulating discussion afterward. Josh's ability to handle tough, probing questions and comments calmly and respectfully created a feeling in the room that gave people permission to say whatever they wanted to about this controversial topic. Our decision to bring both Josh and his film to our congregation ended up being a huge success.
Janice Gordon, Congregation Dor Hadash
Thank you for your consideration!
