"Decapolis II" was photographed on 16mm and 35mm (in color and black and white), primarily on weekends, and was one of the first feature-length motion pictures developed entirely in Florida to film several key sequences in the then newly constructed Metrorail system in Miami. The movie's "rough cut" was initially passed by all of the major distributors in Los Angeles, although one studio executive acknowledged that the modest-budget production showed "talent." With its dramatically intrinsic "faith-based" message about salvation through Jesus Christ, "Decapolis II" proved to be, in form and content, a small ["unusual/bizarre"] masterpiece, and, in retrospect, significantly "ahead of its time" within the independent filmmaking realm; a cinematic work of art that's (visually) quite beautiful, (thematically) complex, and, in many ways, brilliant.
