Got some pics from my trip to speak at Notre Dame's Edith Stein Conference last week, including this shot of me trying a bit too hard not to blink while getting photographed with my new BFF, Barbara Nicolosi. We had sent a few e-mails back and forth over the years but never met. I enjoyed every minute of the time we spent together, and I could see what my friends who knew her meant when they told me how she helped bring out their creativity. During a few conversations, she helped me fine-tune points for my talk at the conference and my related upcoming InsideCatholic.com article; both were greatly improved from her insights.
Reading Barbara's bio in the catalog for Act One, the nonprofit she co-founded that mentors Christians in Hollywood, I was excited to learn she has bought the film rights to A Severe Mercy
If you'd like to learn more about her efforts to inspire Christians in the media to create works that are good art, and not just good "Christian" art, a good place to start is her "Prayer for Forgiveness."
