Jesus Hates Me

by Wayne Lemon

directed by Jessica Finney


A 20-year-old high school football star with a bum knee and empty pockets is stuck fast in dead-end rural Texas.

Living with his clinging mother in a trailer on a Bible-themed mini golf course,

Ethan seeks any means of escape, from a bottle of Jack Daniels to a gay ski resort in Colorado.

Too bad everyone and everything is conspiring against him in this vicious comedy about faith, family and forging on.
