Bright Spark: The Reconciliation of Trevor Southey
Trevor Southey dreamed of becoming a modern-day Michelangelo of Mormon art. In the mid-1960s he found a gang of like-minded artists at BYU and they formed a loose art colony to pursue their dreams. It all came crashing down when Trevor's homosexuality was exposed. Thirty years later, as his adult daughter suffers a major health crisis, the Mormon Church steps in to help and Trevor finds himself in the strange position of being invited to rejoin the church that once rejected him. Bright Spark explores conflicts of sexual identity, religious belonging, and artistic expression with honesty and compassion.
