About This Website

This website was created as part of my Honors contract at UCSB (University of California Santa Barbara) for Professor Richard D. Hecht's and Patricia Morrill's Fall 2004 course on "Religion and Film". Once the quarter is over the website will be copied to the university's server. AND it will be left open here for future additions.

"This course has developed over a number of years and many people have contributed to it. We would like to thank W. Richard Comstock, Professor Emeritus of Religious Studies at UCSB, Susan Dobson now completing her M.A. in Spiritual Psychology at the University of Santa Monica, Elijah Siegler now Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Charleston, South Carolina, and Patricia Morrill for all their contributions to the development of this course."
