Statement from the Director/Writer“Sex Before Church was never meant to be strategic.”
“It was something I had to make. The film came from a very personal moment when I felt lost and needed to find meaning through honesty and creation.
We live in a time where everything moves fast. Everyone is performing, posting, and pretending to be 'okay.' I wanted to make something real. Something quiet. Something that lets people breathe and feel again. This film is about love, guilt, and the difficulty of staying genuine in our complex world. It is not about religion. It is about faith in connection, in art, and in what it means to be human.
Audiences today are tired of noise. They want to feel something true. That is why Sex Before Church exists. It is a small, honest story made for people who still believe cinema can move them and make them think.”
