Quotes

[after interviewing Macalousso]
Victoria Thorne: This is a real god. A god of signs, and wonders. A god who loves humanity, doesn't think we're sinners, wants to teach us how to love each other, and take care of *this* world, *now*. This is Franco Macalousso, our bright and shining star. This is a god for today, and for the future.

User Reviews

Thought provoking and well acted!

Jessica Steen's character was not typical to any she has played in the past, thus her believable performance was quite an achievement. She is a very talented and diverse actress still waiting to truly be discovered!
