Film: Rick Schroder's LDS-related project

Weekend Standard (subtitle: China's Business Newspaper) has posted an in-depth article on actor-turned-filmmaker Rick Schroder. It mentions his next project -- "a feature film he did not write called The Principle Wife, a story set in the 1870s about Mormons and polygamy."

The story also focuses on how he found financing and the difficulties he had in distributing his last film "Black Cloud." And it confirms that he self-identifies as Mormon.

I haven't seen "Black Cloud" so I can't comment on his filmmaking skills, but he seems like a down-to-earth guy, and I enjoyed the candid, personal quotes he contributed to the article.
