Paulist Productions
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paulist Productions and its sister company Paulist Pictures are production companies for religious television and film projects, respectively. Paulist Productions was founded in 1960 by the Paulist priest Father Ellwood "Bud" Kieser to produce the religious television program Insights. Paulist Pictures was later formed for the purpose of film production, creating the features Romero (1989) and Entertaining Angels: The Dorothy Day Story (1996).
The company is closely associated with the Humanitas Prize, also founded by Father Kieser, and various members of the Humanitas board and staff have worked with Paulist Productions.[1][2]
