EPICLESIS Trailer. *Putting on the final touches on the film before it goes to festivals (hopefully). 🙏🏽☦️🙏🏽 A young priest. A God-shaped hole. And the very human thing of trying to fill it with something —- or someone else. A small, strange, tender comedy about faith, longing, and the awkward places we wander in between.

EPICLESIS - an awkward exploration of the very human struggle between desire vs devotion, between flesh and spirit. —- COMING SOON It’s hard to express things that mean something to you in the commercial or (some times even) music video space - that why I value passion projects - not as a means of strategic next steps towards a feature (valuable as that may be), but just to scratch a curiosity itch, and honestly, to try something a bit different. Thank you to everyone who hustled in March and April, earlier this year to make this film a reality, and to go on this slightly off-beat personal endeavor, a reality.

EPICLESIS — a satirical comedy about a priest trying to fill a God-shaped hole…with humans. Some of my soul in this one. Making personal work takes everything: time, money, sleep, sanity. Pulling together a tiny army to make a film always dents the psyche a little — but when the pieces finally click, there’s no better feeling. I wish I could afford to make narrative work more often. If you know any patrons of the arts who want to support something small, strange, and personal… send them my way - especially feature films - got some ready. Seriously. 🎥🥹 Either way, I’ll keep making the work that feels true — and hope that somewhere in it, someone sees a piece of themselves. Thanks for watching - stay tuned for more. IMMENSE GRATITUDE to this incredible crew - and the small team of people who supported this film.

EPICLESIS ‘Montage’ A collection of stills from our short film. Four years ago, I started writing a short film script with my friend Jesse Loncraine about growing up in a religious environment and trying to fit into the “normal world”—especially through the lens of romantic longing. EPICLESIS is a satirical comedy about a priest looking for love in the modern world. I wanted to explore the absurd and darkly humorous aspects of this experience, as they felt true to a part of my early years. In 2021, we were preparing to shoot in Ukraine, just a few months after filming MOEDER, which had been such a great experience. But then the war broke out, and we tabled the film indefinitely. Last year, I revisited the script again and thought, “this story still resonates with me...” so we got to work…and adapted it for NYC. Thankful for an amazing team that made it happen. More soon! by @christopher_lew

WE NEED YOUR HELP AND WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT. We’ve launched a Crowdfunding Campaign for our short film EPICLESIS. This film is very close to my heart, and although it’s a darker comedy, it deals with themes (of belonging, fitting in, cultural & relational dislocation) that I’ve wrestle with as a missionary kid, and as someone who is trying to find his place in the world, yet at the same time, recognizing his inherited place in the world as something handed down, or bestowed to him in a Cosmic, Divine sense already - from birth. It’s a film about a priest looking for love - leaving his life of chosen celibacy, trying to fill a God-shaped hole with human shapes. It explores the awkwardness of giving up his spiritual identity and trading it for what the cool kids wear - an ill-fitting Adidas tracksuit, as he navigates all the pitfalls of modern dating: the apps, speed-dating, judgmental church folk etc. We’re 100% making the film - shooting next week, in NYC. We’re making it for 140K and shooting for 6 days. We’ve already shot day 1/6, and have a little teaser out already. ALSO —- We’ve got a rave scene that we could use some people for - if you want to hang, and have a good time shooting on 35mm film, reach out to @laurentarber, and I’ll send through more details shortly. EPICLESIS isn’t a direct proof of concept for a feature, however it explores the same world I’m looking to build for my feature film FOREIGN ANIMALS - similar visual tone etc. We have a great team on it —- Director/Writer: @salomonligthelm Co-writer: Jesse Loncraine Production @deepcutfilms.xyz @farbfilm.studio Producers: @laurentarber, Dan Blackwell, @worst.bad Cinematography @christopher_lew Production Design @piliweeber First AD - Dan Majkut Second AD - Hannah Sheinkopf PD Assistant - Casper Lant, Pablo Tamarin Wardrobe - Andrew Walsh HMU Assistant - Tatiana Mendez 1st AC - Tom Fenaille Casting Director - Adam Browne Upstate Casting - Heidi Eklund Sound - Charles Cutler Set PA - Michaela Agostino Set PA - Ariel Wang Set PA - Arturo Daza On set Photography - @joeperri Ivan - @vbaronian Anna - @irinacdze Pyotr - @lakutis LINK TO CONTRIBUTE IN BIO. by @christopher_lew
