Thanks to the good work of Grasshopper Film, ANGELS ARE MADE OF LIGHT is getting out onto the big screens and getting seen, thought about and reviewed in different towns and cities across North America. It’s an honor to have an intelligent and curious audience for the film.
In the process of releasing ANGELS ARE MADE OF LIGHT I have taken part in post-screening Q&As and print interviews, some of which I have collected here for those curious to learn more about the making of the film.
