Footnote

Latest Episode

NSFW (Pilot - Season 1, Episode 1)

If we want to make a show about important things, why start with porn? Not only does it not seem that important, but it's so difficult to talk about. It's also the world's biggest industry, which made us wonder, what makes porn tick? Why is it what it is? Is porn, maybe, important after all?

We talked to porn stars, porn producers, porn addicts, and a porn pastor -- people who have had porn alter their lives. Their stories reveal an industry built on a lot more than skin and sex. In fact, they show an unforgettable new reality to the industry.

It's just not possible to make a show about spirituality that will make everyone happy, but we think that this show is at least interesting. In getting people's opinions on spirituality, we found one thing for sure that should have been obvious from the start: spirituality isn't an opinion at all. It's a reality

There are about six of us who work fulltime on Footnote, maybe more depending on what you call fulltime. Add in a slew of interns, our executive producer, our distributers, some friends we call in favors from, freelancers, the random kid we'll talk in to holding a boom mic, some remarkable people who give us every spare hour and would give us more if they were able, and that number jumps up to about twenty. We couldn't do it with less, and if I tried to explain how close we've gotten while making this show, it'd sound like exaggeration. Nevertheless, with every person we add to the team, it's one more person who needs to be happy with the final outcome. One more of us...
