WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY MADDI FORMOSA
School is hell and then you die. Alternatively, an Angel crash lands on earth and annunciates you with the second coming of Christ. Either option is fine.
Toeing the line between sin and salvation, school girl Jan is desperate to stand out and make her mark, the 10 commandments be damned. Not far behind is her best friend Dav, trying her best to fly under the radar and desperately dodging a holy retribution she’s convinced awaits her around every corner.
Prayers are answered and dreams are dashed however, when an Angel- sorry not an Angel falls to earth in front of them and annunciates Jan as the next Virgin Mary.
In the midst of this precipitous parable, the not Angel or simply, Being, pieces together their scattered memories, and finds the centuries long story of two celestial co-workers as they attempt to find meaning in the depths of their divine drudgery.
Traversing the planes of human and heavenly existence, Big Religion is a quick-witted, impenitent and spirited exploration of what it can be to endure beneath the weight of the Almighty…or the weight of whatever we are told the Almighty is.
