Richard Dutcher burst into the public conscience in March of 2000 with the release of his groundbreaking independent film "God's Army." Since then, his name has become almost synonymous with "Mormon cinema" (his term) specifically, and with independent niche filmmaking in general. While the content of his Dutcher's films has often triggered wide-spread controversy, both among Latter-day Saints and the general public, his filmmaking skills have received almost universal acclaim. ldsfilm
