The Beginning of a Journey...

At the beginning of 2010, Pastor Dennis A. Meredith in association with Captain Crazy Productions, INC created 'The DAM Films, LLC' and began production on a feature length documentary that would evaluate the ongoing conflict of the exclusion of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people from Religion due to their lifestyles.

Dennis Meredith is the Pastor of Tabernacle Baptist Church in Atlanta, GA. For the past 8 years he has been preaching an inclusive message of Love & Acceptance that welcomes anyone and everyone to worship God. His personal struggle to spread this message of tolerance is the main focus of our documentary.

The documentary expresses the idea of Love & Acceptance to be a message adaptable to all people and circumstances. Our main focus looks into the African American church community and their struggle with openly accepting people who are traditionally thought to be unaccepted by God. The Tabernacle Baptist Church does not run off the popular "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" guidelines instilled in the culture, but rather creates a church setting that embraces everyone and encourages all to love themselves and each other. We are all PEOPLE after all....

Pastor Meredith and a few other volunteers from the church are allowing us to follow them on their day to day lives to represent an example of the struggle that the GLBT community has within the African American community. We will be constantly blogging about our progress on the project. We hope the documentary will open the eyes of people and evoke healthy thought and discussion about this issue.

We are currently in production and plan to submit the film in the festival market at the end of this summer.
