SYNOPSIS
In 1994, at age 40, Pastor Richard Gazowsky saw his first film (THE LION KING). Although he had never touched a camera before, he then received a message from god to make movies. It’s over ten years later, and Gazowskly is finally ready to make his first film, GRAVITY: THE SHADOW OF JOSEPH, a biblical sci-fi epic.
AUDIENCE OF ONE, Mike Jacobs’ enthralling documentary follows the delusional Gazowsky all the way from San Francisco to Italy, on his disastrous attempt to shoot his multimillion dollar Christian version of STAR WARS, complete with stunts, costumes and special effects.
Unfortunately for Gazowsky and his amateur crew, just about everything that can go wrong during the shoot, does go wrong. And numerous attempts at joining hands and singing to Jesus for intervention, seem to fall on deaf ears. Fans of AMERICAN MOVIE and LOST IN LA MANCHA will revel in the collection of bizarre characters on display, and cringe at the mishaps that surround the eccentric Pastor on his misguided debut foray into sci-fi filmmaking. Not to be missed!
