description: "Richard Alan Dutcher is an American independent filmmaker who produces, writes, directs, edits, and frequently stars in his films. After making God's Army, a successful 2000 movie about LDS missionaries, Dutcher became well known among members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Film critic Jeff Vice, of the Deseret News, dubbed Dutcher \"The Godfather of Mormon Cinema,\" a title that is very important personally for Dutcher. In 2007, Dutcher left the LDS Church."
