CREEPY CHRISTIAN CINEMA MAKES NORTH AMERICAN DEBUT!
MARCH 21st @ 7PM - REVUE CINEMA, TORONTO!
Hey friends!
I've been terribly slow updating my blog, but alas time to break that with a great event I have coming up at the Revue Cinema with a collection of films that were saved from an abandon Christian cinema, somewhere in PA.
It had taken some time to have the program play here, but FINALLY audiences in Toronto get to see this collection of short films that I toured with all over Finland and Estonia, playing the HOFF festival in Estonia, and the NIGHT VISIONS festival in Helsinki, which had its screenings all sell out, including a 4AM slot.
Anyone who has been to one of my screenings has heard me say, that ALL film, regardless of genre, is important and stands as a document of a particular message, not only visually. These films are no exception.
But alas, here is the details with a program I am FINALLY glad to present on these shores!

"CREEPY CHRISTIAN CINEMA: A COLLECTION OF ODDBALL CHRISTIAN FILM KITSCH"
Thursday, March 21st @ 7:00 PM
Revue Cinema; (400 Roncesvalles Ave; Toronto, ON)
Regular Box Office Prices
16mm film prints - NO DIGITAL PROJECTION
AFTER SELL OUT SHOWS IN ESTONIA AND FINLAND (Including one 4am screening at the Night Visions Film Festival), CREEPY CHRISTIAN CINEMA MAKES IT'S NORTH AMERICAN DEBUT!
No need to go to church for a sermon of guilt! CREEPY CHRISTIAN CINEMA is a collection of obscure films designed to not only hammer in the message about the "big guy above", but also to be entertaining and "hip". Shown in church basements and Christian movie theatres, these have been nearly impossible to see, until now!
Highlights include a Christian rip off of Hanna Barbara's Animated "Scooby Doo" entitled PHANTOM LAKE (1984, Dir: Ken Anderson) which has a Sunday School class learn that God can protect them from "ghosts" during a camping trip, while CHAMPIONS (1984) pumps bad Christian music videos along with professional NFL Football Player Neil Lomax teaching kids how to deal with peer pressure, and be "cool, and love the Lord". The pitchy films end with the unbelievable "Nikolai" (1986, Dir: Tony Tew) which deals with the USSR and the evils of communism (and Young Pioneer Camps) when the KGB pressure young Nikolai to give up his faith, and be a good comrade. These films, plus more strangeness from the world of "film-making for Jesus", including an introduction and prizes by Dion Conflict (Hunka Junk series). Hallelujah!
Look forward to seeing you there, and will be updating on my blog here shortly some other projects I have in development, and news on some upcoming film screenings :) - Enjoy the spring!
