The first episode of the Interpreter Foundation’s new Becoming Brigham video series is now up and accessible completely without charge. See here. In connection with the launch of this initial installment in our series of mini-documentaries, I published an article today in Meridian Magazine: “Becoming Brigham: The Video Series Premieres” Incidentally, one of The Usual Suspects — my anonymous Mini-Stalker — had already posted his first derisive critique of the first episode at least two hours before its formal...

Becoming Brigham, the new series of mini-documentaries produced by the Interpreter Foundation and Red Brick Film Works, will launch tomorrow, Monday, 26 January. Its first episode will be posted to YouTube at, I think, 12 noon Utah time. I hope that you’ll give it a look at your earliest convenience — the episodes will typically run about fifteen minutes in length — and that, if you feel at all so inclined, you will bring it to the attention of...

A while back, I read an interesting book by Sarah Hinze that bears the title The Announcing Dream: Dreams and Visions of Children Waiting to Be Born (Mesa, AZ: Three Orchard Productions, 2016). Sarah Hinze is, by the way, the same person who was behind a 2022 documentary featuring accounts of parents and families who claim to have met the souls of their children before they were born. I believe that it can be watched online: Remembering Heaven. Anyway,... Read more

Just posted on the website of the Interpreter Foundation, a new article from Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship: ““They Did Multiply and Prosper Exceedingly in the Land of Helam”: Naming and Narrative Irony in Mosiah 23,” written by Matthew L. Bowen Abstract: The name Helam, attested as a place name in the Bible is also attested as a personal and place name in the Book of Mormon. Evidence suggests that this name is derived from...

Up today on the website of the Interpreter Foundation, which (by the way) is completely dead: “The Interpreter Insights Podcast — January 22, 2026: Insights into Genesis by Comparing Latter-day Saint, Jewish, Catholic and Protestant Beliefs” In the January 22, 2026 episode of The Interpreter Insights Podcast, our host Martin Tanner discusses the book of Genesis from the viewpoints of Judaism, Catholicism, Protestantism, and Latter-day Saints.

From the Deseret News: “Sundance rise, Sundance set: The independent film festival that Robert Redford built changed the industry and its host state. What does it mean now that it’s gone?” I was deeply disappointed and quite sad when the news broke that the Sundance Film Festival was leaving the state of Utah for Boulder, Colorado. To the very, very limited degree that my adopted state enjoys any cultural cachet with opinion makers and culture generators, the Sundance Film Festival... Read more

The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; the devout are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil. Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death. (Isaiah 57:1-2) Today was the funeral for Sarah Allen. I wanted to attend, but I found myself at home without a car. However, thanks to technology that would have been unthinkable when I was... Read more

If you’re located along the Wasatch Front in Utah, or if you will be in the vicinity of Orem or Provo on Saturday, 31 January, you might want to mark that evening on your calendar. The Interpreter Foundation will be sponsoring a fireside on that date that is intended to celebrate the launch of the Foundation’s series of Becoming Brigham mini-documentaries. The fireside will take place in a stake center located in southwestern Orem, and we expect that the... Read more

Well, thanks to a mechanical problem with one of the aircraft in the Delta Airlines fleet, we were able to add an extra day to our filming expedition, spending an unplanned Friday night in St. Louis. In the, umm, spirit of St. Louis, here is Judy Garland’s “Meet Me in St. Louis.” Please ponder its timelessly immortal lyrics. St. Louis served as a vital “city of refuge” and as a way station for many of the Latter-day Saint refugees... Read more
