We assumed Orthodox Christians would be the first people to support an American Orthodox film.

That felt obvious.

So we put together a proof of concept and held our first investor house party. Just us, some footage,

and a room full of people we were hoping would say yes.

Something surprising happened that night.

The first people who actually believed enough to write a check weren't Orthodox.

Some of them weren't even Christian.

They just saw something true in the footage and decided that was worth backing.

That night taught me something I didn't expect to learn this early. Belief doesn't always come from

where you assume it will. Sometimes the people who see your vision most clearly are standing

completely outside of it.
