UNepisode 25: A Few Good Men with Spencer T. Folmar & Garry Pastore

There are interviews and there are connections that are made! This was one of those moments. I got to connect with both Spencer & Garry over a poignant film that Spencer wrote and directed called Shooting Heroin. The film is a fictional narrative of a small town in America that is plagued by the heroin/opioid epidemic and they FIGHT BACK!

It was a pleasure attending the theatrical tour of the film here in NJ as well as getting to meet Spencer and Garry. Both has awesome careers in the industry and it was an honor to get to speak with them about their careers and Shooting Heroin.

Director & Producer Spencer T. Folmar's theatrical debut, "Generational Sins," has spurred a national debate surrounding the interplay of faith and film. The New York Post, The Los Angeles Times, FOX, The Hollywood Reporter, Deadline, Washington Times, CBN, Christian Post, and more have all joined the conversation in about the film's release. In response, Folmar coined the term "Hard Faith" to describe this new genre of film, written for audiences who are hungry for hope in the midst of gritty real-life stories. Shooting Heroin a  film about a small town taking justice into their own hands to stop the spread of drugs by whatever means possible.
