Ann Marie Pace is a writer and director based in Los Angeles—Mexican American and proud of it, shaped by a life spent exploring identity. From her thesis film shot in the Amazon to directing for Disney+, she tells stories that bridge worlds and make space for voices that don’t always see themselves reflected.

In this episode of Catholics in Ordinary Time, Ann Marie sits down with Fr Jack to talk about the art of belonging, resilience, and finding your truth when you don’t fit in just one box. It’s a conversation about the power of storytelling to heal, connect, and invite us home.

I hope you like this conversation. I certainly did.
