A new JESUS film is out and it's unlike any film on the life of
Christ you've ever seen.
It's a surreal retelling of the life of Christ as a woman (played by
the feminist poet Cheryl Townsed, who also co directed).
The film premiered in LA last friday Oct 1st.
due to popular demand our film
will have an unprecedented second showing at the Lemmle Fairfax 7907
Beverly Blvd. LA, CA 90048
(866)468-7619
this wedensday at 1130 AM
ADMISSION is FREE.
Too of the 180 plus film with the NY Inependent Film Festival JESUS
AND HER GOSPEL OF YES was
singled out for a blurb in the LA WEEKLY by columnist Ron Stringer.

An excerpt from a recent review from S. Zeig

... ' Jesus and her Gospel of Yes is not so much a film, but a
vision. The acting is not so much acting
as performance art. It is rare that I can say i've never seen
anything like it, but that is indeed what i can say upon viewing
this film. And it's the type of film that you want to see
repeatedly, just to absorb all of it. I think it will turn out to be
a much studied film 50 years from now and should prove to be quite
an explosive one'.

also, Mike Hovancsek (our composer) wrote an apt promotional text:

Jesus and Her Gospel of Yes" is one of the best naked acid trip
Jesus films that you will ever see! Wow, you are going to love this
film. It is sort of like if you used the set from H. R. Puff-n-
stuff to tell Bible stories! No, it is like if you took the
original cast from that terrible Batman television show from
the '60s and had them act out the life of Jesus with a cross-dresser
and a couple of lesbian strippers! No, it is like watching that
Davey and Goliath claymation series after consuming enough acid to
kill a herd of elephants!
There are layers and layers of odd images washing over people who
are doing nonsensical things with cheesy props while orators shout
poetry over each other and strange music fades in and out! It is
two hours of the most chaotic,screwed up stuff you have ever seen.
The film is so bizarre and funny the peope who made it are either
going to win a bunch of awards or get arrested (probably both)!!!
