This is me

In 2009, I was a Mormon missionary on a bus in Mexico when it was boarded by narcos who announced they were on their way to kill people in a nearby village.  This film imagines what I wish I had done that day.

Elder Jones and his companion shortcut through the desert, arriving at the imperiled town only minutes before the narcos arrive to attack.  The three missionaries put down their scriptures and take up arms to heroically defend the village against the ruthless killers.

arrow1_edited.png

An unprecedented number of Mormon-centric films and TV shows were released last year with even more slated for next year. "Mormonsploitation" is hot in Hollywood.

Heretic (A24)
Under the Banner of Heaven (FX)
Tokyo Vice (HBO)
Murder Among the Mormons (Netflix)
Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey (Netflix)
Sinner v. Saints (Westend Films)

By combusting neo-Western action inside a Mormon missionary context, this film will make an unprecedented indie splash.
