"My twenty-two years as department head of the Motion Picture Department at Brigham Young University were, in turn, exciting, discouraging, exhilarating, heart-breaking, challenging, rewarding, and wonderful years. Never once in all that time did I have any intention of setting down my experience in print until I began telling some of them to my dear friend, co-worker, and boss, Darrel Monson, in my weekly meetings with him. Incorporated in this account are only a few chapters of delineating representative films that we have produced. Just as Father Escalante, Etienne Provost and Jim Bridger were pathfinders for the Mormon Pioneers, our predecessors were pathfinders for us. We fervently hope we have been pioneers to those who follow. Throughout, I have tried to incorporate my witness of the truthfulness of the gospel to which I humbly bear testimony." [Author]
