"It would give people hope…" MPI Media has unveiled a trailer for an indie drama titled Scenes from an Empty Church, the latest humble film from Turkish-American filmmaker Onur Tukel. He explains it's "a departure from my previous work, which has often been cheerfully dark & cynical… I chose to embrace hope & spirituality at a time when the masses (specifically New Yorkers) were fraught with despair. Though the movie centers around two Catholic priests and their parishioners, the film explores many ideas – organized religion, paganism, nihilism, astral projection, free will, thelink between Judaism and Catholicism." The story is about two priests that open their doors during the NYC lockdown. "We've come to understand the importance of bodies and the flesh, being in the same room with someone, and looking them in the eyes." Starring Kevin Corrigan and Max Casella, Thomas Jay Ryan, Paul Reiser, Natalie Carter, Annie McCain Engman, and Edward Carnevale. It's a film that nicely celebrates our our need for connection. ›››
