Hey, everyone, welcome back to another episode of the Catholic Talk Show.

We're lucky enough to be joined by David Henry, who is the producer and the host of the new series Seeking Beauty, where he travels across Italy, seeking beauty, God, and the most beautiful places on Earth.

Stick around and learn more. All right, David, welcome to the show.

Good to see you.

Nice to see you again. How you been? Been good, man, been good. No complaints. Just, you know, live in life. The children are growing and they're coming in the room right now. I just speak my love. I'm in the middle. I'm Ryan. They were supposed to be outside. That's great. We're going to list them as unpaid extras. Yeah, exactly. I'm on calls, baby. You know you're supposed to be in here. Love you. So outside of my children stealing each other's eggs, all is good. All is good. Yeah, we finish this show, got a lot of other things in production. So all is good. Thanks be be together. Yeah, you stay pretty busy. And I'm not sure if everyone knows all the things that you do and the things that you produce. And a lot of people associate you with being an actor. You've been very successful on that. But you do a lot of production work, a lot of films, a lot of series. Tell us a little bit more about that, how your career

and acting led to that. Yeah, absolutely. Am I coming in clear, by the way? Is my mic working?

You sound great. Great. Yeah, so I grew up an actor. I didn't really have any faith. Massive

conversion. That's a longer story. But by the grace of God, found my way to the faith. And it was really put

on my heart to try to use the talents God give me to give them return. And about five, six years

ago, that really started to take shape. We started producing, started directing, started making content

that I felt could entertain and elevate culture. None of it had explicit mentions of faith, but it all had

natural virtue in it. And I think things that could be elevating for culture. And so we made shows for

Netflix, Disney Plus, a movie on Paramount right now with Mel Gibson that I directed called Monster Summer.

It's about Good versus Evil. Good movie. Oh, thanks, man. Thank you. It was a,

was a fun one to do. And Mel has since turned into a mentor of mine. And now we're producing a lot

of other content. We have a fund now. We have a film and entertainment fund that we're

investing and raising at the same time. And our goal is to try to make entertaining and

elevating content, but get more shots on

goal, behave like a real studio.

So studios don't just make one-offs, you know, real businessmen don't just do one-offs.

They diversify.

They have a portfolio.
