Michael Foust recently sat down with Patricia Heaton and David Hunt, who produced and executive produced the adoption-centric film "Unexpected." Here is a look at their conversation:

A new film by the husband-and-wife team of David Hunt and Patricia Heaton has a life-affirming, adoption-centric message that reminds audience members that everyone is "known to God," they say.

The comedy film, Unexpected, is based on the book Enslaved by Ducks and tells the story of a couple battling infertility who accumulate various types of animals to try and fill the emotional void. Halfway through the film, the couple faces the possibility of adoption.

It stars Joseph Mazzello (Bohemian Rhapsody, The Social Network) and Anna Camp (The Help, 5000 Blankets) in the lead roles. Hunt directed it, and Heaton produced it.
