Kiwi comedy-drama about a rural pastor who attempts to convert an inner-city nightclub into a church. More
"A shepherd without a flock, Pastor Luke (ANgus Benfield) struggles to attract a single congregant to his rural services. Moving to the city in search of work, he meets feisty musician, Kate (Victoria Abbott), and her brother, Simon (Jeremy Brennan), a debt-ridden nightclub owner whom he revives from a near-fatal overdose. Inspired by this ‘miracle’, Simon wants to transform his nightclub into a church, using Luke as its preacher. But the city's criminals are not so pleased with the dwindling levels of vice on the streets. Bowing to underworld pressure, Simon betrays Luke, delivering him into the hands of arch-crime boss, Mr Rothschild." (Official Synopsis) Hide
What is this movie meant to be? Is it a comedy or a drama or a thriller?

Great , looks like some - light hearted and fun in the vein of 2nd Hand Wedding!
I love great stories, this looks like a must see
Gotta see this one! Some good kiwi talent and locations involved!
Looks average so far! Are some of the other comments here from people in the industry or from the 'support any old tosh if it's kiwi' club?!
It'll great to see Chch on the big screen, plus this movie looks great judging by the trailer.
Its gonna be a good one!
Cringe
Looks awesome!
The director Patrick gillies has made some bloody funny short films.. This should be well worth checking out.
Not too impressed at this stage. Thought with Simon Barnett in movie, it would be OK, but not convinced.
gonna see this!
The trailer made me want to see it
I support locally made (incl Aussie) Movies!
Saw it last night at the NZ Film fest. One of the best independent NZ made film I've seen
saw it tonight. its lovely. funny and touching. great cast.
I saw it. It was real Jesusy - the trailer should make it clear it's a Christian film.
Can't wait to see it!
Its out now! Check it out!
Awesome movie, great look at Christchurch pre earthquake. Nice parallels with The Bible as well :)
very amateurish effort,acting sub-standard, badly cast, plot gets lost, research faulty, but so what - fills in an hour and a half!
A fantastic film... reminded me a lot of 2nd Hand Wedding.
OMG, worst than Sex and Zen and that was the worse movie ever.
Simon Barnett should encourage his mates into radio so we don't have to see them again....OMG they were
Makes me want to give up...Dad won't be pleased.
And I thought I was bad..this makes me look talented. Love it. Punk rules.
Unfortunately I saw this film....I wish I had been warned...I could be scarred for life.
One to feed to the lions....
Wish I wasn't after seeing this film
Choiiiiice film! Great musik, gud acting (esp da girl) Totes awesome ending!!!!!
