Seeking actors for 'Man of God'
SYNOPSIS
Anna Ouyang Moench's funny feminist thriller follows four members of a Korean Christian girls’ youth group during a mission trip to Bangkok. While there, they discover that their revered pastor has hidden a camera in their hotel bathroom. Their communal rage and disillusionment fuel increasingly violent revenge fantasies amidst the no-holds-barred neon bubblegum sex-tourism mecca of Bangkok. Anna Moench delves into that moment when girls recognize the male gaze and decide they’re definitely gonna do something about it.
