Opening today in theaters and on VOD is ‘Jesus People,’ a crowd-pleasing satire that has received rave reviews from Christian and mainstream critics and fans alike. Directed by Jason Naumann, the film stars Wendi McLendon-Covey, Mindy Sterling, Jennifer Elise Cox, Tim Bagley, Laura Silverman, and Oscar winner Octavia Spencer.
In the vein of great comedic mockumentaries like WAITING FOR GUFFMAN and BEST IN SHOW, JESUS PEOPLE is based on the hilarious and popular Independent Comedy Network web series that charts the rise and fall of America’s worst Christian pop band, Cross My Heart. When Pastor Jerry (Joel McCrary from BEST IN SHOW) gets possibly awful medical news he is determined to reach his rebellious teen son (Chris Fennessy) while he still can. He finds four young musicians with varying levels of talent and their first single “Save The World” takes off on multiple (and some unexpected) radio formats just as the band starts to unravel.
In a search for some Christian music to expose to his teenage son, Pastor Jerry stumbles upon the music video for “Jesus is my good man.” Check out the hilarious video for the song, which is featured in the film, with a great cameo from Octavia Spencer.
