From 1091 Pictures, ELECTRIC JESUS is a coming-of-age, rock-and-roll comedy, following the ill-fated exploits of a religious hair metal band during the summer of 1986.

The film stars The Office’s Brian Baumgartner as the band’s woebegone road manager, 80’s teen icon Judd Nelson as a firebrand preacher, and newcomers Andrew Eakle, Shannon Hutchinson, and Wyatt Lenhart as devout teens determined to “make Jesus famous.”

Written and directed by Chris White, ELECTRIC JESUS will be available digitally November 2.
