AMDG. The art of storytelling involves decisions about perspective, themes, and emphasis, and good storytelling goes on to inspire questions and discussions. Dan Bielinski rejoins the Kolbecast on this special bonus episode to describe storytelling decisions and discussions related to his feature film, End of the Rope available for Kolbe families to stream as a financial aid fundraiser. In the context of moviemaking and movie-watching, he, Bonnie, Steven, and Maggie Hayden discuss discerning family viewing choices, questions of justice and community, and the phenomenon of anger begetting anger.
*contains spoilers* If you’re considering watching the film and *don’t* want to hear spoilers, stop the recording at 23:50 until you’ve seen the film, then come back to hear discussion about some of the plot points.
