Fresh off the cinematic sugarhigh of the various DTG screenings, Mad Ones Films quickly found themselves involved with the Greensboro 48 Hour Film Competition, this time with the fantastic forces of friends Will Huneycutt, Ken Randall & Jesse Knight rounding out the showrunning team. After a random idea from Jaysen's train of thought turned into a derailed and delightful bat out of hell, the immaculate conception of Hot Pink Jesus was given to the world! Despite turning in a sinfully sassy dark & dry neo-noir classic, for some reason that defies all known forms of modern logic, this titillating (and terrifically titled) tale went ignored by the judges.

But it was this very same award-ignored cult classic that would serve as the spiritual springboard for the short film trilogy MOF is currently working on, "The Gospel According to Booze, Bullets & Hot Pink Jesus." Because you just can't keep a good messiah down...

SYNOPSIS

When there ain't much in this world that can scare you... and there ain't nothin' left that can save you... the only things you can feel, that you know are for real is Booze, Bullets & Hot Pink Jesus! Sometimes people take faith for granted... sometimes people take faith for whatever it's worth. For some, faith is an imaginary friend and a "get-out-of-jail" free card. For others, it's a quick fix for a permanent problem. For Faith, it's being at the wrong place at the right time. A jilted lover, a sultry siren, an actor not a killer, & a killer not a hero all descend, guns drawn, upon the Pornfu Pawn Shop on a dark and stormy night. Will Faith have faith? Will Cherry ever escape being the head taco wench at Max Diablo's? Find out when all hell breaks loose going after Booze, Bullets & Hot Pink Jesus.
