In this episode of the Hard Faith Podcast, Spencer Folmar sits down with filmmaker Autumn Libengood, whose short film Bleeding Heart was recently featured at the Hard Faith Film Festival. Autumn opens up about her 19-year journey in filmmaking—from early music video inspiration to bold, R-rated faith-driven storytelling that refuses to shy away from life’s raw edges. She shares how near-death illness, seasons of doubt, and a powerful calling from God shaped her voice as a director, leading to deeply personal films like Life After.

Autumn also discusses her upcoming passion project Indentured, exploring the Irish slave trade, forgiveness, and healing. Throughout the conversation, she reflects on the influence of music, the importance of authenticity in storytelling, and the challenges of filmmaking as spiritual warfare. Together, Spencer and Autumn celebrate the courage it takes to tell unflinching, faith-rooted stories in an R-rated world.
