    Through the works of five visionary individuals, filmmaker Zachary Godshall tells the story of people's inspirations. There is Leonard Knight, building the "God is Love Mountain," a Seussian landscape in the California desert; Shelby Ravellette, a self-professed master mason and Knight Templar; Mississippi preacher H.D. Dennis and his wife, Margaret; Floyd Banks Jr., who builds with bricks, rocks and his own tooth; and the works of sculptor Kenny Hill as presented by Julius Neil. The subjects may come across as unstable, but their motivations are as honorable as why you and I get up every day to sit in a cubicle, prepare lunch for a restaurant full of people or sell a gallon of milk. Their reasons run the gamut from honoring a promise to a dead daughter to trying to impress a woman -- all amid the overriding theme of fulfilling God's will. The images Godshall gives us reinforce the imperfect, man-made nature of the structures and sculpture garden, while the original music of Shane Monds puts us squarely in church.

    Preceded by the short film "Not On View," about John L. Stewart's private art collection, which raises questions of art's place in society.
