I don't know about how "Meshes" was financied. Those huge voumes of
"Film Culture" on her probably reveal it. But the film doesn't look like
it cost much.
To any who have not seen it, "The Blood of Jesus" is an amazing movie.
I've seen only five Spencer Williams films; this is by far the best of
them. It's made with genuine passion and conviction, and its oddities
are not as amusingly (and endearingly) disjunct as those in "Go Down,
Death."
"The Blood of Jesus" is also one of the few films that I'd purchase the
sound track album of, were it available. The group is "The Heavenly
Choir," and the rough conviction of their singing matches the film's style.
