In the folds of a seemingly regular family, Scott Homan's journey began. But little did he know what would unravel before his eyes. A battle between two opposing ideologies shaped his early years, but what he discovered went beyond mere disagreement. Brace yourself as the story unfolds, revealing the dark underbelly of a faith that demanded everything. And as the echoes of his past reverberate, Scott's quest for freedom and identity takes an unexpected turn.
In this episode, you will be able to:
Uncover personal stories about the transition from a Jehovah's Witness to awakening independence.
Discover the underlying challenges faced by Jehovah's Witness artists after leaving the cult.
Come face-to-face with the perils of cult dynamics and the ostracizing and shunning practices of Jehovah's Witnesses.
Embark on a journey of self-discovery, rational thinking, and individual belief system development.
Scott is an unconventional filmmaker with a unique route into the industry.
Born and raised in the wild northwoods of Wisconsin, Scott originally immersed himself in the regional music scene before transitioning to local news production. His roots in photography and digital media further honed his skills, ultimately culminating in the launch of his company, Banana Island Films.
Scott's work marries his artistic talent with an intense personal journey, uncovering and challenging the oppressing practices within cults. He thrives in sharing untold stories of artists like himself, who have managed to escape such environments and flourished - a testimony to his resilient spirit.
