Our Father
This short is an animated satire set in a dystopian Christian Ireland, where a washed-up street preacher tries to win back the souls drifting toward a late-night porno shop—by preaching through erotic dance. Naturally, the Priest Police aren’t impressed.
The film uses scratchy black-and-white animation and expressive, hand-drawn mark-making to amplify the chaos and absurdity of the story.
As a student film, it was also an opportunity to test how far irreverence and religious commentary could stretch within animation. The goal was to create something provocative and ridiculous, without relying on polish or permission.
When a scruffy bible-basher's midnight street-sermon can't seem to draw a crowd, he hatches an erotic plan to draw the masses away from the late-night porno shop and preach the Lord's 'good word' through seductive dance.
When the Priest Police catch wind of this abhorrent scene they make sure it never happens again; restoring peace on Earth.
