John C. Clark – A CLOSER WALK WITH THEE

John C. Clark Center Stage with Mark Gordon

John C. Clark came Center Stage with Mark Gordon to talk about making the film A CLOSER WALK WITH THEE, a homoerotic Evangelical exorcism movie. The film has been awarded the Best LGBT Film award from the Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival.

The interview was originally broadcast Tuesday, February 14, 2017 on KXLU Los Angeles, 88.9 FM

ABOUT JOHN C. CLARK
John’s previous work includes the Outfest-selected dark comedy BLOODY LESBIAN MELODRAMA and the Kenneth Anger-inspired music video for Xiu Xiu’s “El Naco” (which premiered on Bloody Disgusting with comparisons to Miike’s AUDITION and was called “pure horror movie creep“ by Stereogum). With A CLOSER WALK WITH THEE, John is finally going to fulfill his lifelong dream of making an erotic horror feature film that also pays tribute to his religious upbringing.

HOLY AIR is an intelligent and funny contemporary comedy that transcends barriers of religion, gender and culture, showing a unique look at modern life in Nazareth. The new film is from writer/director Shady Srour, who also stars alongside French actress Laëtitia Eïdo.

Adam is a Christian Arab living in Nazareth – member of a vanishing minority within a minority in the Holy Land and the Middle East. His wife Lamia is a strong, beautiful and progressive Arab woman, who runs a foundation for women’s rights. When Adam hears that Lamia is pregnant and his father falls very ill, he evaluates his life and realizes that he has not achieved much. Despite all his business ideas failing so far, he gives one last try to make it big. And what’s better to sell in the Holy Land other than the very air that Virgin Mary breathed during her annunciation? But in order to, as one priest tells Adam during confession, bring such product into the market he needs to find allies from the three cultures ruling over Nazareth – the Jewish politicians, the Muslim mafia boss and the Catholic church officials. In a politically unstable world where religion is just another merchandise, can the Holy Air be Adam’s salvation or is it just an illusion?
