<div>Hey there! It's Josh Jordan. I'm the writer and director of El Tonto Por Cristo,
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/76163447_1698237793534476_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>and this is my squad. My wife and best friend, Jessica, is the producer of ETPC; to my right; my first-born BTS camera and editor, Julian Sol, to my left; my youngest acting in this film, and the first, the costume kid himself, Sonny Valentine. We are like the one and only genuine original family band… but we make films, and together, we made El Tonto Por Cristo.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>El Tonto Por Cristo became and is a whimsical tale about a holy fool at a mythical monastery on the coast of Texas. It stars Matthew Posey (True Stories, Magnificent Seven, No Country for Old Men), Jordan Walker Ross ( The Chosen, 1883), and Frank Mosely (Freeland, The Ghost Who Walks), with Barry Corbin and Jonathan Jackson. We filmed this picture in Dallas and surrounding areas, including St. Seraphim Cathedral and Nativity of our Lord Monastery in Kemp, Texas. Actual accounts of the lives of saints and monks of the Eastern Orthodox Church inspire this script.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>El Tonto Por Cristo was born during a lunch date with Jess in downtown Dallas at the tail end of our film festival run with our first feature, This World Won't Break. As Eastern Orthodox converts, we craved something cinematically that enveloped the Orthodox faith's beauty, mystery, and oral tradition but set in America. We couldn't find what we were looking for, so I decided, with fear and trembling, alot of research, a priest consult, the prayers of Saint John the Wonderworker, and the blessing of our Bishop, His Grace Bishop Gerasim, to set sail on this marvelous adventure.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We were miraculously one of the few pictures to receive a SAG interim agreement. With just enough funds for production and a whole lot of intercession, we filmed from September 4th -18th without incident. El Tonto Por Cristo is in the can!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As of this post, our first assembly of El Tonto Por Cristo will be done. We are in conversation with our composer and sound designer and timelining our next step process.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>So, what's next? </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Well, I'm glad you asked. <strong><em>We are securing our priority post-production funding for sound design, score, editing, and business affairs.</em></strong><em> </em>Most of our funding has come from private investors, aka arts patrons.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How you can help. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please give. We don't have a final movie without the funding necessary for post-production, and we are so close.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Subscribe to our <a href="https://www.eltontoporcristo.com/subscribe" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">newsletter</a>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Be the first to know when El Tonto Por Cristo will premier in a theater near you. Won't it be fun to gather and celebrate in person? We can't wait to give you a hug and a high five, and thank you for all of your support.
</div>
