Winter 1978


Divine Providence is a narrative short film centered around and inspired by the city of Providence, Rhode Island. Set in the late 1970s, the film tells the story of a tumultuous confession that brings the lives of a lonely parish priest and a guilt-ridden mobster crashing together, forcing the two men to tear open old wounds and confront the demons of their respective pasts.

A story of guilt and forgiveness, Divine Providence finished principal photography in March of 2022 in locations throughout the Providence metropolitan areas. The  film made its world premiere as an official selection at the 2023 Oscar-qualifying Flickers’ Rhode Island International Film Festival, and premiered online in December of 2024.
