Our Student Leadership

John Moore, Governor of Patriot Academy 2013

John Robert Moore is a writer and director of independent feature films.  His first feature was a politically driven musical western called The Widow’s Might, which Moore directed at 18 years old.  The Widow’s Might won the largest cash prize in North America for feature film, and went on to have a limited theatrical release and receive worldwide DVD distribution, allowing him to produce his next feature ‘Ace Wonder’, which will be released nationwide in 2012.  Over the past several years, Moore has spoken across the country on the topics of filmmaking and youth leadership.  One of Moore’s main messages is that young people need to be involved in all areas of culture; business, arts and sciences, politics, and discipleship.  Moore’s passion is to help develop a generation of ambassadors and culture changers with strong biblical convictions in every field of life.
