to finally put the financial aside and just do what he loves. "It's been awesome being on set because that's my element," he said. "Especially coming from pre-production where you have to internalize and visualize everything, it's great to be able to do tangible things like move a camera or set up lights now."

McGinness says they are nearly done shooting the film and have begun the editing process, which has been the most rewarding part of production for him so far.
"A lot of the ideas behind this movie saved my livelihood at one point or another, and seeing
directors have had to learn to adjust to each others differing styles.
"We both have strengths in entirely different areas and weaknesses in entirely different areas, but that's okay," he said. "He's had to teach me how to nail things out and get things done in a timely manner, and I think I've taught him a lot about visuals and things that that are very important."
"God, Grant Me" was partially funded through Kickstarter, a fundraising website that allows people to donate to various projects, but the project only receives the money if it's predetermined goal is met by a certain deadline.
