I was a Navy kid and, like military families everywhere, I have known separation and uprooting. As the spouse of a Foreign Service officer, I have lived the challenges of pursuing my own interests while supporting another's career and frequent moves. Military families and military chaplains deal with similar issues daily. I have worked on a variety of film and writing projects, writing-directing Refugees of the African Great Lakes: Survivors of the Rwanda Genocide for the UN to making a music video shot in the Congo during its regional war contributing to PBS's Preventive Diplomacy. The most satisfying work for me has been human interest subjects which resonate with universal themes and explore the spectrum of human reactions and emotions. The chaplains’ story is such a subject.

Was it because I grew up Protestant attending Catholic school in Spain? Was it because I majored in religion at university? Whatever the reasons, I have long had an abiding interest in the role religion plays in our lives and societies. While living in Madras, India, I wrote for the Union of Catholic Asian News and wrote features for the Christian Century and, since my return to the US in 1992, I have written about Islam and Buddhism, primarily through their art and culture. The military chaplaincy as a subject is about the power of religion, the challenges and opportunities of religious pluralism, and the creative tension at work in an institution that straddles Church and State with all the First Amendment issues this entails.

We will forever be grateful to sculptor Brece Honeycutt, who introduced us to fellow artist and film editor, Andrea Hull. Based in Washington, DC, Andrea brings to the project more than 25 years of experience in film and video and a sensitivity and respect for service men and women that grew out of a recent video project she worked on with wounded troops at Walter Reed Hospital.
She has worked in long and short formats and, as her 55-minute feature “One on Every Corner: Manhattan’s Greek-Owned Coffee Shops” proves, she knows how to tell a story. She is both delightful and ruthless -- witness the image she chose to post here by way of explaining exactly how she tackles the editing process.
