Shot on film by Award-winning cinematographer, Jon Miller (American Beer), and edited by Frank Reynolds, editor of the 5-time Academy Award-nominated film In the Bedroom, it features a full orchestral score composed and arranged by Brian Aumueller (Alias).<br \/>\nSynopsis<br \/>\nJoe is a serial apologist. Totally self-absorbed, he says &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry&#8221; so often, even he doesn&#8217;t know what the words mean anymore\u00e2\u20ac\u201dthat is, until a female he tramples refuses his apology. Face to face with his own hypocrisy, he learns just how powerful sincerity can be.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"credits\">\n<dl>\n<dt>Directed by<\/dt>\n<dd>Guy Shahar<\/dd>\n<dt>Written by<\/dt>\n<dd>Guy Shahar<\/dd>\n<dt>Produced by<\/dt>\n<dd>Dave Broitman, Veronica Bailey<\/dd>\n<dt>Director of Photography<\/dt>\n<dd>Jon Miller<\/dd>\n<dt>Editting by<\/dt>\n<dd>Frank Reynolds<\/dd>\n<dt>Casting by<\/dt>\n<dd>Christopher King, Stephanie Bast, Amber Khan<\/dd>\n<\/dl><\/div><\/div>\n<div id=\"_vpdata0\" style=\"display:none\">eyJpZCI6ImVtYmVkZGVkLXZpZGVvIiwic3JjIjoiaHR0cDpcL1wvYjNmZjI3N2Y2NDA1MjdjNWJiMDAtOGE1NGFjZmJmYWE0ZDg2YWVmYjAyNjBiNDBiNDNiOTIucjk0LmNmMS5yYWNrY2RuLmNvbVwvMTg4N18xMjEzMDQyNjg1LmZsdiJ9<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"small\">The Apologist, starring New York film veteran Christopher King (Quiz Show, Devil&#8217;s Advocate) and Broadway diva Stephanie Bast (Miss Saigon, &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":12341887,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"video","meta":[],"categories":[5542],"tags":[19,49,849,1039,1286,1563,1817,3170,3172,3679,4559,4560,4561],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v15.8 -
