This weekend, Murray State's Cinema International features the 2015 Belgian film "Brand New Testament."  The dark comedy portrays God as a reclusive cynical writer living in a Brussels high rise with his daughter.  She determines that her dad is doing a less-than-good job and decides to change the world's status quo with a "new" New Testament.  Todd Hatton speaks with Cinema International director Dr. Therese St. Paul,  Professor Robert Fritz of MSU's Global Languages Department, and Dr. Eleanor Rivera of Murray State's Department of History about "Brand New Testament."

Todd Hatton hails from Paducah, Kentucky, where he got into radio under the auspices of the late, great John Stewart of WKYX while a student at Paducah Community College. He also worked at WKMS in the reel-to-reel tape days of the early 1990s before running off first to San Francisco, then Orlando in search of something to do when he grew up. He received his MFA in Creative Writing at Murray State University. He vigorously resists adulthood and watches his wife, Angela Hatton, save the world one plastic bottle at a time.
