Directed by Dennis Lee | Awaiting release
This modern family comedy revolves around 10-year-old Henry James Herman (Jason Spevack) and his left-wing single mother
Patricia (Toni Collette), who works at the local university's cafeteria. A misfit from birth, Henry's precocious,
rabble-rousing ways catch up with him when he gets kicked out of school. Meanwhile, 12-year-old Audrey (Samantha
Weinstein) has her own problems because of her single father, university professor Dr. Slavkin O'Hara (Michael Sheen), who
used her as the test subject for his best-selling book "Born Gay or Made that Way"? When Henry scores a scholarship to
the university as a child prodigy, the two families cross paths and everything they knew about their lives is thrown to
the wind.

Based on Dennis Lee’s award-winning 2003 short by the same name, "Jesus Henry Christ" premiered at the 2011 Tribeca Film
Festival to much public interest, due to its famous executive producer, Julia Roberts. The film received mixed reviews
however and is since then awaiting theatrical release. The Tribeca summary wrote that, "Lee gives all characters their
fair share of snappy dialogue and off-the-wall moments of hilarity, spiking the film with playful charm and visual flair.
Collette and Sheen effortlessly flex their comedic muscles with bright newcomers Spevack and Weinstein in this whimsical
tale.
