Audience of One

Richard Gazowsky is a Pentecostal minister in San Francisco. One day he decides to make a huge film. It is to be called Gravity: The Shadow of Joseph. In his own words it is Star Wars meeting The Ten Commandments. He takes the idea as a divine instruction. People from his congregation get involved as well. Pre-production drags on. Then they fly to Alberobello in Italy. The first shooting is to happen there. Things start going wrong almost immediately. The documentary does not let go of the process. It follows every step from preparation through to the shoot. The film took a special jury award at South by Southwest in 2007. Richard Gazowsky appears in the eighty eight minute documentary, an Italian and American co-production Mike Jacobs finished in 2007.
