Faith & Film Series / "Stutz"

This evening's film - STUTZ

Selected and facilitated by John Lyzenga, musican and multimedia artist, seminarian

Phil Stutz is one of the world's leading psychiatrists. Directed by friend and patient Jonah Hill, the film explores Stutz's life and walks the viewer through his signature visualization exercises, The Tools. As Hill sits down with Stutz for an unorthodox session that flips their typical doctor-patient dynamic, they bring The Tools to life in a humorous, vulnerable and ultimately therapeutic experience. 

"The film has a worthy goal: to change the perspectives of people who might be hurting right now. For those willing to go with its flow, it has a real power." - L.A. Times -- "100%" Critics Poll - Tomatometer.

No fee. Donations appreciated.


About the Faith & Film Series

In this series we will examine the potent and relevant medium of film in exploring themes of love, faith, conscience, evil, death, reception, grace, morality, identity, and our yearning for the sacred. Each month we will view a different film––each unique, compelling, and demanding––reflecting our current times. Each film is curated by those who love this artistic medium and will host a conversation following our viewing. Co-sponsored by New College Berkeley and First Presbyterian Church Berkeley.
