Our Story

We are uncommon friends who come from different cultural backgrounds, belief systems and age groups. We raise questions through art, including documentaries. We believe that light defeats and dispels darkness and illuminates truth.

Compelling Light exists to offer a safe place to consider much more than our daily routines. We aim to offer grace to people, allowing them to question things of faith without judgement, while encouraging one another. Through our documentaries and artistic endeavors, we try to address the difficult questions of life honestly.

Our feature length documentaries include Normie, a film that looks into the illusion of normal and the beauty of love through the lens of Down syndrome. Compelling Love captures the personal stories and candid responses of individuals across the political and sexual orientation spectrum, dissecting how people can connect with others with differing beliefs, values and lifestyles. ASK explores whether love can survive addiction and codependency. This is a question that weighs on every addict and perplex those who love them, and who typically follow them on their downward spiral.
