Atheism Goes to the Movies

Join us this Sunday in person OR online, as we watch Atheism Goes to the Movies, a 49-minute program by the Humanist Society of Santa Barbara (HSSB), in which film writer and director Jeff Jackson discusses the negative image of atheism in films and on TV. He is producing Our G*ddamn Wedding, a comedy that presents a realistic, favorable of atheism. You can see a short from this film at https://ourgoddamnwedding.com/.

Jeff Jackson began his career in advertising, where he founded his own agency and wrote and direct award-winning commercials and video content. He wrote, directed, and starred in the acclaimed short film, Our First Fight, a romantic comedy which toured film festivals around the world. His feature-length screenplay, White Collared, a black comedy set in corporate America, won Best Screenplay at the Santa Barbara Film Festival in 2010.

For the stage, he created the book and lyrics for a faithful musical adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, praised for “bringing the classic tale thrillingly to life.” His second play was Two Point Oh, a dark comedy that was a “Critic’s Pick” in the New York Times.
