400 - A Dangerous Movie in the Best Way Possible

I had the pleasure of speaking with filmmaker Josh David Jordan about his new movie El Tonto Por Cristo. It’s a black-and-white art film set in a Texas monastery — poetic, strange, and deeply moving. What struck me most is how the film weaves together powerful Orthodox imagery, the mystery of the holy fool, all with a totally unique visual language. This isn’t just a message movie — it’s real cinema.<br />Check out the Kickstarter and be part of bringing this movie to theaters. This is a rare and important project. <br />El Tonto Por Cristo: A Cinematic Meditation. An Orthodox film set in a Texas monastery.
