Thanks for the greeting, I’m looking forward to starting this course. I like filming things as a hobby.

Out of curiosity, what films had Mr. Thomas directed? Besides IS GENESIS HISTORY? .

[Ben Crist]

Here you go! He’s worked on other projects produced by others, as well. But these films you can see in the Modern Parables course and our free Seek Social Justice teaching series.

[Seraph G.]

Thanks!

Oh my goodness! So I was watching The Last of the Mohicans for lesson 9. So the video is 2 and a half hours long, and I was super confused…. but the reason that it is so long is because it is the same movie twice.

[Seraph G.]

Soooo yeah. Thought you might want to know that. Also the quality is terrible, and it kept glitching and skipping.

[Ben Crist]

Ah ha! Thank you! I’ve alerted Mr. Purifoy and he’s linked the better film!

So you really watched The Last TWO of the Mohicans 😉

[Seraph G.]

Ha! Very clever sir.

[Seraph G.]

Thank you.
