Creating Sanctuary: Faith, Friendship & Filmmaking with Autumn McAlpin & Vienna Boyes

Autumn McAlpin and Vienna Boyes join us to share the story behind their powerful new film, Sanctuary—and the friendship that made it possible. From navigating the faith communities they grew up in to telling stories that center LGBTQ+ individuals often underrepresented in religious spaces, they open up about courage, collaboration, and creative conviction. This conversation explores how art can build bridges of understanding, invite deeper compassion, and spark meaningful change.
