We can not know Light without Dark. Nor can we know Good without Evil. Likewise we can not truly understand Faith without Doubt.

‘The Incredulity of Saint Thomas’ (1603) by Caravaggio. One of the original Apostles, he came to be known as Doubting Thomas, uncertain in his faith in Jesus.

As many of you may know, I have a background in the academic study of theology, a B.A. in religious studies from the University of Virginia and a Masters of Divinity degree from Yale. So it is only natural I bring that perspective to how I view and understand movies and screenwriting.
