Comedy, Short Films, 31-Mar-2023
In the midst of a sexual awakening, a religious teen finally musters up the courage to kiss her crush. “No Other Gods But Me,” directed by Alex Spott, is a sensuous comedy about lust and temptation delivered with glistening, hyper-saturated visuals. The devout Gemma spends her days praying to the Lord and dreaming of an intimate connection. She worries that her desires may be considered sinful but it’s getting harder and harder to resist them. A film that calls into question the belief systems and iconography of the Christian faith and the quizzical responses they can inspire. -KA. Director, Writer, & EP: Alex Spott.
