FATHER STU – Exclusive Interview (Mark Wahlberg, Jacki Weaver, Teresa Ruiz) | AMC Theatres 2022

The stars of FATHER STU, Mark Wahlberg, Teresa Ruiz, and Director Rosalind Ross, share the layers of the film– faith, heart, humor, and love.

Based on a true story, Father Stu is an unflinchingly honest, funny and ultimately uplifting drama about a lost soul who finds his purpose in a most unexpected place. When an injury ends his amateur boxing career, Stuart Long (Mark Wahlberg) moves to L.A. dreaming of stardom. While scraping by as a supermarket clerk, he meets Carmen (Teresa Ruiz), a Catholic Sunday school teacher who seems immune to his bad-boy charm. Determined to win her over, the longtime agnostic starts going to church to impress her. But surviving a terrible motorcycle accident leaves him wondering if he can use his second chance to help others find their way, leading to the surprising realization that he is meant to be a Catholic priest.
