Paul Schrader
Others, such as novelist Peter De Vries and filmmakers Paul Schrader ("Raging Bull", "Taxi Driver"), Leonard Schrader ("Kiss of the Spider Woman") and Patricia Rozema ("I've Heard the Mermaids Sing", "Mansfield Park") were raised in the church by CRC-member parents and attended denominational schools, but later left the church. However, the influence of CRC origin can be detected in their later work, especially the films of Paul Schrader, who has publicly stated that "a religious upbringing... never goes away."
