About Your Humble Host
Hello, my name is Scott Nehring. I have been an independent movie reviewer since 2004 and have reviewed thousands of films. My reviews have been published on a number of websites from the United States, Australia and India. These reviews have been published on my own sites along with Reuters.com, USA Today.com and a variety of local news stations across America. As a former screenwriter, I am focused on balancing my love of story structure and cinema with my Christian faith. I teach film classes to Christians, teaching them how to "read" films and how to deal with the sometimes thorny subject of engaging modern culture. I am currently working on a book based on these classes tentatively titled You Are What You See: Viewing Films Through a Christian Lens.I built this site to specifically discuss film and Christianity. I have found that many Christians are completely lost when it comes to the cinema. This is mostly due to an ignorance of the art of film and the meanings the works coming out of the cinema convey. I have also found that many Christians are too restrictive in their cinematic tastes. I hope to open my readers to some great works, as I find them, and help them avoid the trash that is always spewing from the film industry.

"A Passion For Giving is about the simple gesture of giving," says Robin
Baker Leacock. "My hope is that this film will encourage people to
think of others of first. -- whether giving time, energy or money in
helping people, animals or the environment. That is the coolest thing
that you can do - the most fun thing that you can do - the most sexy
thing that you can do - right now or ever is to help people !!!
In A PASSION FOR GIVING, Baker Leacock explores people's passion for
giving through a series of fun quotes and art, cool music and interviews
with a quite a diverse group of people, just about anyone she came upon
with her camera - some being famous and some not. Subjects in the film
include :
Ross Bleckner and Bob Colacello co-founders of ACRIA;
Gael Greene founder of City Meals on Wheels;

Alexandre De Lesseps founder of BlueOrchid orphanage in Burma;

Henry Buhl founder of Soho + Tribeca Partnership;

Baker Leacock also has lively conversations about life and generosity
with those who have a need to be helped by others, hopefully inspiring
viewers to give of themselves !!
As an established filmmaker, Robin Baker Leacock's credits include IT
GIRLS for WE: Women's Entertainment Television;
I'll Take Manhattan, which was screened as an official selection at the
Montreal World Film Festival, Berlin International Film Festival and
Hamptons International Film Festival;
And a series of summer documentaries for Plum TV in the Hamptons
Crank 2.
My wife wouldn't come close to the TV while it was on.
I laughed more than any comedy I've seen in 10 years.
But maybe that's just me.
And you still have reviewed "Spirited Away" yet.
