It's painfully clear at this point that
Six Days In August is going to be another embarrassing financial and critical bomb for DCP. The sheer number of anachronisms and blunders is simply astounding: freshly mowed and manicured lawns, solar lamps, rain gutters, asphalt shingles, detached garages with combination locks, extras with their hands down their pants, etc.
Despite DCP spending several hundred thousand dollars of donor money on advertising,
Witnesses was seen by less than 1% of LDS in the U.S. Think about that for a minute. A film of such importance portraying the foundational story of the Mormon faith was only seen by less than 1% of the LDS. If DCP can't even get 1% of people to watch
Witnesses he won't even be able to get a fraction of that 1% to watch
Six Days In August.
But there is good news for DCP. Infamous filmmaker Ed Wood has become an icon around the world for his gloriously bad movies. Ed Wood and his horrible movies are beloved around the world. There is even a religion based around Ed Wood that boasts thousand of members:
In 1996, Reverend Steve Galindo of Seminole, Oklahoma, created a legally recognized religion with Wood as its official savior.[70] Founded as a joke, the Church of Ed Wood now boasts more than 3,500 baptized followers. Woodites, as Galindo's followers are called, celebrate "Woodmas" on October 10, which was Wood's birthday. Numerous parties and concerts are held worldwide to celebrate Woodmas. On October 4[71]–5, 2003,[72] horror host Mr. Lobo was canonized as the "Patron Saint of late night movie hosts and insomniacs" in the Church of Ed Wood.[71][72]

Years from now, I predict DCP's films will have found a cult following and will be beloved by many. There will be midnight showings, film festivals and celebrations in DCP's honor. In the end, DCP will probably not be remembered for his plagiarisms, fake accent from learning perfect German on his mission, homophobia, horrible scholarship, misogyny, racism, smuggling rugs from Iran into the U.S., publicly encouraging donations to a fraudulent charity and enabling a sex abuser, or any number of his ethical lapses and bad behavior.
DCP will be remembered for his gloriously bad films.
