About The Work and The Story
It is July, 2000 Richard Dutcher, the man who pioneered "Mormon Cinema" with his film "God's Army" is missing and presumed dead. Three amateur Mormon Filmmakers: Judy Shumway, Peter Beuhmann and Kevin Evans individually set out to make their first feature-length films to take Dutcher's place as the next "Mormon Spielberg". Who will win? Who will lose? Who will find Richard? And does everyone want Richard found?
Directed by Nathan Smith Jones, The Work and The Story leans on a strong ensemble — Kirby Heyborne, Christopher Robin Miller, Eric Artell — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2003.
