Is there an underground railroad to help sneak Christians into Hollywood?
SL: Those of us working here really dont like this idea of sneaking Christians into the industry. Christians need to be good enough to break in on their own meritespecially Christian artists. A Christian artists work should see deeper into life than that of the non-Christian, and to convey that depth the artist will have to master his given craft. So Christian artists should be better craftsmen than non-Christians. I think weve had enough of giving third-rate art a pass just because it carries the Christian label. Theres a ministry in Hollywood called Act One that trains Christians to work in the mainstream industry as writers and executives. All of the contributors to Behind the Screen also teach at Act One, and Barbara Nicolosi and I are on staff there. Its the place to learn the ropes if you want to work in the industry. 90&9: Several essayists mention that beauty in the arts is a direct indicator of God. To your mind, why is this true? SL: God is Beauty and God is the source of all
