Hours before its opening night Father Larry Gosselin of Old Mission Santa Barbara sent a message to the Santa Barbara International Film Festival urging the Executive Director Roger Durling not to allow the documentary 'Hail Satan?' to screen in the community.
The note said:
Dear Roger,
With all my due respect and appreciation for you, and all that SBIFF brings to our community, I must express my grave concern and disappointment in learning of you bringing this film "Hail Satan" to our community.
