TRUMP & JESUS SHOW
Trump & Jesus Show is a short film consisting of three animated stories, each of which takes an artistic license to envision what an encounter between Donald Trump and Jesus Christ would look like if they happened to meet face-to-face. What would Trump say? How would Jesus respond?
The film premiered at the Comedy/Drama section of Revolution Me Film Festival on 13 August at the Spike Lee Theatre (1 University Plaza, Brooklyn, NY). Our international premiere was during the Shorts On Tap – an award-winning short film festival that supports the spread of awareness on social issues through film and hosts screenings in London, Berlin and Tokyo. It took part in a showcase under the name “TRUMPED: A Selection of Unpresidented Short Films: a bunch of despotic works depicting tyranny, bigotry and the farcical times we live in”. The film was also shortlisted for the Awardeo Video of the Week award.
The project was an independent pre-election campaign aimed at the 79% of all Evangelical Christians in the US who stated their support for Mr. Trump. The film was made possible due to the support of our 99 IndieGoGo campaign backers – thank you all!
Trump & Jesus Show is now live on Vimeo, YouTube and FaceBook and has been seen by over 50 000 people! #TrumpJesusShow
The project was featured in Le Figaro (one of France’s top 3 newspapers), La Repubblica (Italy), Tribune Geneve (Switzerland), The Curious Brain, Daily Kos and more.
