Hacksaw Ridge

Although I’ve been a creative and production executive over the years, I never really had the desire to produce anything until my dear friend Stan Jensen of the Seventh Day Adventist Church brought me the amazing story of PFC Desmond T. Doss, the first conscientious objector in history to win the Congressional Medal of Honor.  I was so blown away by the story, I knew right away I wanted to be involved with the project from beginning to end.  What an inspiring man Desmond was -- a REAL superhero -- a man who refused to kill or even touch a gun for that matter, even during bootcamp.  He was beat down, made fun of, and treated like a coward, but he didn’t care.  It was between him and God, and he was determined to serve his country his way and not give up.  As incredible as it sounds, Desmond was able to save over 75 lives in the Battle of Okinawa using faith as his only weapon.

Hacksaw Ridge is finally finished, and will be released nationwide on November 4th, 2016. It was directed by Mel Gibson, and stars Andrew Garfield, Vince Vaughn, Sam Worthington, Luke Bracey, Teressa Palmer, and Rachel Griffiths. I‘m very excited about it all, honored to have worked with my fellow producers Bill Mechanic, David Permut, Steve Longi, and Terry Bennedict.
