Finally, you can watch this film which had a very limited theatrical release last Christmas. It tells the story of Father Jonathan Keene and the small town on the Cape which turns his life around. Written, directed and starring David Wall with just about his entire family and the townsfolk of a small village on Cape Cod. There’s even a cameo by Michael Sweet, ex frontman for Christrian rockers Stryper. Sweet sings, well, sweetly in the climactic moments of the movie. Formerly titled “Mrs. Worthington’s Party” the film won an award for Best Director at the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival.It’s now available at Amazon and a store near you. Original score by Head Monk, Andrew Ingkavet.
