Born Again Heathen
Written by Wayne Barrow, this short film
comedy showcases Australian talent for movie
producing.
Shot in high definition and made for
Australian and overseas film festivals 'Born
Again Heathen' is set to compete well in
these markets.
Two
Born Again Christians try to
convert a heavy metal Bikie!
One Sunday morning, two
attractive Christian ladies
knock on the door of a house in
a rough neighbourhood. After a
moment, a Biker appears wearing
old jeans, an ACDC T-shirt and
looking worse for wear from an
all night drinking session.
The Christians go through a
quick spiel about repentance and
the good news of the gospel
however the Biker counters with
the fact he’s more into drinking
beer and womanising!
Drawn to their beauty he invites
them in and wanting to convert
him they reluctantly enter.
Inside, the lounge is a mess of
sleeping, drunken bodies strewn
everywhere amidst the aftermath
of a wild party.
They find a seat and the Biker
challenges the girls that if
they can prove there’s a God;
not only he but also every one
in the room will be at church
come Sunday. The eldest girl
suggests that he pray for a sign
that will persuade him to
believe!
The scene is set for a
supernatural event to happen,
that will challenge everyone’s
beliefs.
