Episode 338: Behind the Kolbe Film: Dr. Marcellino D’Ambrosio on New Movie Triumph of the Heart

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Marcellino D’Ambrosio, executive producer of the new Catholic film Triumph of the Heart and father of the film’s director, Anthony D’Ambrosio. He shares the story of his family’s influence on Anthony, the journey from a short film on St. Maximilian Kolbe to a full-length feature, and what they hope this project will contribute to Catholic cinema.

Topics we discuss include:
• How family life shaped Anthony’s vocation as a filmmaker
• The transition from short film to feature-length story
• Hopes for the future of Catholic films and evangelization
• Will Triumph make an impact at the box office?
• How the movie may foster devotion to St. Maximilian Kolbe and Mary
• Reflections on the cast, Catholic identity, and how film can become a channel of grace

Dr. D’Ambrosio also shares details on how to see Triumph of the Heart in theaters and what makes this project unique in the landscape of faith-based films.
