Sharp satire and lived experience come together with style and flair in Adamma Ebo’s Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul., which explores the messy truth behind the showy facade of a Southern Baptist megachurch. Starring Regina Hall and Sterling K. Brown as Trinitie and Lee-Curtis Childs — the first couple of the fictional Greater Paths church in Atlanta, GA — the movie is a memorable feature debut for talented writer-director Adamma Ebo.

HONK FOR JESUS. SAVE YOUR SOUL – Review by Sherin Nicole

August 23, 2022August 29, 2022 Sherin Nicole Adamma Ebo, Adanna Ebo, Honk For Jesus Save Your Soul, motw, Movie of the Week, nicole beharie, regina hall, Sterling k brown

In a thriller cleverly hidden within the satin robes of satire, writer/director Adamma Ebo questions morality, marriage, and the power of a message. Adamma Ebo is sharp with her pen and with the camera, taking the story of a disgraced megachurch pastor and his wife to the brink of absurdity but always with an edge of truth. Honk For Jesus. Save Your Soul. isn’t a morality play but the dissection of two characters who worship at the altar of fame but refuse to allow their labors to be more than vain.

HONK FOR JESUS. SAVE YOUR SOUL. – Review by Liz Whittemore

August 23, 2022August 27, 2022 Liz Whittemore Adamma Ebo, Adanna Ebo, Honk For Jesus Save Your Soul, motw, Movie of the Week, nicole beharie, regina hall, Sterling k brown

To overcome a scandal, a viral pastor and his wife hire an up-and-coming festival filmmaker to revamp their image with a cinema verité documentary. Their goal is to refill their megachurch with its previous 25000 parishioners. But, it quickly becomes evident that Lee-Curtis and Trinitie are out of touch with reality. Based on writer-director-producer Adamma Ebo’s short film of the same name, Honk For Jesus. Save Your Soul. is gloriously biting satire to the nth degree.

WAVES – Review by Diane Carson

November 21, 2019November 21, 2019 Diane Carson 0 Comments Sterling k brown, Trey Edward shults, waves

As Waves begins, the upper-middle class African-American Williams family enjoys life in southern Florida. But, without conflict and trouble, we’d have a lackluster narrative, so dramatic events quickly ensnare talented, 17-year-old Tyler.
