Welcome to Catholic Stuff You Should Know, a J10 initiative.

Hello, and welcome back to Catholic Stuff You Should Know. This is Father Jacob here.

Father John. And we've got a special guest with us today, Anthony D. Ambrosia. How you doing?

I'm doing good. Thanks so much for having me here.

You have such a great Italian name. I love it. Yeah. Maybe get the D in front. Yeah.

With the apostrophe. But I was confused because it's Ambrosio, right with an S? Because I thought it was Ambrosio with a G in the Italian. Do you know the distinction? I mean, essentially, we did do a little bit of

Americanizing, I guess, when we came over. But I don't know exactly where that, like, where that

happens. It's like ecclesial Latin. You have to make it a little softer. Ambrosio. Yeah, yeah.

But, yeah, Anthony and I, we actually go a little ways back, and we weren't best friends, but we met, I want to say like a decade ago.

Yeah.

It was before I went to seminary, maybe a year and a half before I went to seminary, two years.

And you were kind of launching this Catholic Creatives initiative.

And I was doing creative work, video work especially.

And through a mutual friend, we met up.

I remember we went to Botanic Gardens and just talked about the project.

Yeah.

And now 10 years later, you've produced a feature-length film that we're going to talk about.

And you're a priest.

And I'm a priest.

So, you know, start at the bottom.

Here we are.

And, yeah, I kind of ghosted the world.
