Pay for Redemption

An abstract representation of the Pentecostal community. A lot of inspiration for this film came from a man named Oral Roberts and his son Richard who now runs Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Oral was a famous evangelist who helped promote prayer clothes which he sold during his televised masses. These clothes were meant to be draped over ones television in order to allow for the words of god to come flowing through. Many evangelists still market similar clothes, bible anointment oils, and other false holy objects to this day. This work attempts to comment on the fact that god always needs more money, and those that pretend to be holier than though are thieves who steal in the name of god.
