Placing the question "Does God exist?" at the center of his first feature length film came naturally for writer-director Ian Ebright. After crafting multiple thoughtful short films about morality and the social contracts that bind (or unbind) us, he delivers a powerful look at what pride, grief, and certainty can do to a person. Starring Patrick Fabian (of Better Call Saul fame) and a brilliant ensemble cast,The Way We Speak offers a sharp and humbling look at the modern man and the lengths he may go to in order to be seen and heard.

Ian and Kelly discuss the making of the film, Ian's oeuvre of short films (which you can watch at brokentelegraph.com), breaking free from the dominant narratives of religion and our right to comfort in the West, and how stories have the power to change the world.
