More when we have it.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s some of what he had to say:<\/p>\n<h4>Lennix says \u201cRevival\u201d began as a Passion Play\u2026<\/h4>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cRevival\u201d started as a passion play at a church, basically. Where I go to church is Church of God in Christ in South Central (Los Angeles). I had been involved with their theater ministry, their arts ministry, for decades, really. My partner in business is a certain Dr. Holly Carter, who is a producer of some note. She has a couple shows on television. She\u2019s one of the producers on the movie called \u201cThe Gospel,\u201d and an excellent musician herself.<\/p>\n<p>But she was the one who got me over to the church. People in the church wondered if we were going to do something for Easter, and I thought about it and decided to write a Passion Play based on gospel music, gospel music that I had fallen in love with.<\/p>\n<p>I wanted to do something that celebrated the religious-cultural experience that is reflected in gospel music, and no such thing existed. Even the musicals that did exist about Jesus, they didn\u2019t, that were popular or well-known, \u201cJesus Christ Superstar,\u201d which is really an opera, and \u201cGodspell,\u201d which is really a pantomime of some sort. It\u2019s a clown show.<\/p>\n<p>Jesus is a clown, literally a clown. That said, I enjoyed it when I was a younger person, but I didn\u2019t see anything where the evangelical message, as it were, the Gospel itself, was being celebrated with Jesus as a divine manifestation.<\/p>\n<p>George Stevens is the best one ever. \u201cThe Greatest Story Ever Told\u201d is the quintessential faithful version of the story that I\u2019ve seen, at least in film. So I wanted to do something similar, but an extrapolation from there, both musical and faithful. Authentic. I did the translation myself from the Latin, actually, the Vulgate.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Note: The Vulgate is a late 4th-Century Latin translation of the Bible, largely the work of St. Jerome, which the Catholic Church affirmed as its official Latin Bible at the Council of Trent, in 1545-\u201963.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It really was just a church play. When I saw the response from the audience and when I realized that there was nothing else like it, I thought that more people should have access to it. We set out to do a very low-budget thing where we just kind of filmed what we had done at the church.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h4>It\u2019s been challenging to find a distributor\u2026<\/h4>\n<blockquote><p>We showed it to a couple of people. The people liked it, but they didn\u2019t know how to market it. They didn\u2019t think that they had figured out a way that it would make sense for what they do, and so \u2026 The few that we talked to. They were interested. Everybody seemed to enjoy it, but they don\u2019t know how to get it out from their methodology.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re formulating (a plan) now with a group called Tricoast Worldwide. They\u2019re basically going to be our sales rep co-distributors, and then literally we\u2019re going to go to towns that most people pass over and motivate the congregants, as you say, and get them out to the theaters, where they\u2019re generally ignored.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h4>Lennix would like Black Faith Entertainment to serve an underserved audience\u2026<\/h4>\n<blockquote><p>Yeah, there\u2019s a group called Liquid Soul that markets to the demographic, but they don\u2019t have any content for that demographic. There\u2019s a number of people who know how to get the people out in that demographic, essentially the Tyler Perry demographic. Black female Christians between 18 and 65.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what makes Tyler Perry a sure thing. But Tyler Perry\u2019s not doing faith-based entertainment. He\u2019ll put a scene in a church, and that\u2019s enough because people are starved for content.<\/p>\n<p>People are easily duped into supporting things that are faith-adjacent in some way, but that are not answering the questions that people are dealing with from a spiritual point of view, from a spiritual base. Point of fact, I don\u2019t even consider \u201cRevival\u201d faith-based. It is, in fact, the very basis of the faith. It\u2019s the Gospels.<\/p>\n<p>We wanted to make something authentic and true to a very faithful demographic of people. Black people are the most faithful people on the planet and go to church more than any other ethnicity demographic at all, probably combined, and yet there\u2019s no content for them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h4>Lennix feels \u201cRevival\u201d holds up as a representation of Scripture\u2026<\/h4>\n<blockquote><p>I am absolutely confident that it would withstand any scrutiny from a theological point of view. I could defend it if I had to put it in front of a bunch of judges or scholars or academicians or theologians, because that\u2019s what it says. That\u2019s what it says, and if you\u2019re going to, outside of just building a statue or making a painting, if you\u2019re going to show Jesus doing a miracle, walking across the water or getting up from, getting out of that tomb somehow or whatever, it has to be interpretive.<\/p>\n<p>But there\u2019s an acceptance. There\u2019s a suspension of disbelief that a theater audience will allow you. But even if we look at what Christ did, it is essentially \u2026 Much of it is performance theater. There\u2019s a great theologian who says that when he fed the 5,000 in one version and 7,000 in another one or whatever, that\u2019s dinner and a show. That\u2019s dinner and a show. That\u2019s great. It is! Jesus Christ was very careful about when he performed publicly.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h4>Lennix foresees tackling other Biblical tales\u2026<\/h4>\n<blockquote><p>Anything is possible. That is, again, the faith market is a very loyal market. They\u2019ll go see anything, even if it\u2019s not terribly faithful to the message or the principles as we understand them, or our religions and so forth. Understand, but I think anything\u2019s possible. I would like to do more stories from the Bible. For example, I\u2019m fascinated by the book of Ruth. I\u2019m fascinated by Job.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not necessarily going out trying to convince, trying to bait and switch people into seeing what I\u2019m referring to as faith-based content or Bible stories or Black Faith Entertainment, which is what I\u2019ve been saying. To tell the story that is resonant, that resonates with so many black people throughout the world, why do we have to continue to pander and try to sell it as something it isn\u2019t?<\/p>\n<p>People are either going to see this and they\u2019re going to respond to it or they won\u2019t. I\u2019m happy with that, but I\u2019m not going to dress it up in a blonde wig and pink ponytails and make it into something it\u2019s not. This is gospel set to gospel music. That\u2019s what it is, the Gospel of John set to gospel music.<\/p>\n<p>If it doesn\u2019t make any money, so be it, but this is an authentic celebration of black church, basically. This is how black people do faith in some way. The dance ministry, as it were, put in display. The music, obviously, put on display. And the story, that\u2019s what it says. That\u2019s what it says.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em><strong>Images: Courtesy Jupiter Film Group, Releve Entertainment, Exponent Media Group<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<div><em><strong>Don\u2019t miss a thing: head over to my other home, as Social Media Manager at Family Theater Productions;

No, I don't pick my NFL team by geography.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/kateoharewrites","https:\/\/twitter.com\/KateOHareWrites"],"url":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/kateohare\/author\/kohare\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/kateohare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6765","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/kateohare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/kateohare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/kateohare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2174"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/kateohare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6765"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/kateohare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6765\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/kateohare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6771"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/kateohare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6765"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/kateohare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6765"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/kateohare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6765"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
