MINOR PROPHET. MAJOR PROBLEM.
It’s 2008, New York City. Jonas is at a meth fueled sex party when he begins talking with a mysterious twink on Grindr named Jack. When Jack turns out to be God in disguise, Jonas gets sent on a mission to save New York City from its growing addiction to technology – if only he can save himself first.
A DARK COMEDY / DRAMA ABOUT ABOUT ADDICTION & RECOVERY
My Name Is Jonas is a modern retelling of the Book of Jonah that explores addiction, social isolation, and the search for meaning in a disconnected world. The screenplay has been described as “a drug fueled spiritual odyssey reminiscent of Trainspotting and The Big Lebowski” by Slamdance.
The original anti-hero returns.
The Book of Jonah is an ancient Jewish legend about a rebel prophet who tries running away from his mission in life. The film reimagines key plot points from the original text and reintroduces audiences to one of the unlikeliest superheroes of all time.
