Forgiving Kevin - A Movie Focused on Addiction and Absolution


Christopher J. Scott guides Domicile Films, LLC, as managing member and has overseen the writing and direction of series and feature-length films. One of Christopher J. Scott’s most noteworthy productions is Forgiving Kevin, which was completed in 2016 and has a script taken from author Larry Glenz’ book of the same name. 

The movie takes an honest look at the violence, lies, and betrayal experienced when a father finds his son caught in the trap of heroin addiction. Thus begins a seven-year ordeal in which Larry tries everything he knows to save a son with whom he has shared a close relationship, including a mentoring role as coach on the high school lacrosse team. 

Ultimately, the father finds a spiritual meaning in his unsuccessful efforts to rehabilitate his son. After a series of recovery and relapse cycles, he learns to forgive and obtains a form of absolution with the birth of his son’s baby, just four months before he passes on. To this day, Larry engages as motivational speaker in the addiction recovery sphere and emphasizes the importance of spiritual psychotherapy in community outreach efforts.
