The New Light Experience of Henry Alline

Way back in 2000, we filmed a pilot for a series on Vision TV, about great Canadians of faith. I still think it was a wonderful idea, but we were just starting out as a production company, and we made some bad choices - like getting me to host it! We also had a very limited pilot-type budget. Still, I remain an admirer of Henry Alline, the subject of the pilot episode (the series was not picked up) to this day, and I'm proud of the writing in this pilot episode, which was based on my graduate studies in history. I've re-edited the original version in what is, I think, now a better film, and something closer to what I would have done if I could travel back in time with what I know now and do it again.

Incidentally, while I had a lot of great professors in college over the years, Dr. Moody was perhaps the one who influenced me the most. It was a pleasure to work with him years after I had graduated from Acadia.
