Jesus, Don’t Let Me Die Before I’ve Had Sex: A Film by Matt Barber

Chuck editor/director Matt Barber is hard at work on his next project, a documentary titled Jesus, Don’t Let Me Die Before I’ve Had Sex, and he needs Chucksters to help!

Per the filmmakers, Jesus, Don’t Let Me Die Before I’ve Had Sex will be a feature-length documentary examining the sexual teachings of the Evangelical Church and exploring the undercurrent of idealism that leaves many people feeling frustrated and confused. Told in an honest and fair fashion, the movie will paint a picture of what is taught explicitly and implicitly by showing how churchgoers react to those teachings through anecdotes of first kisses, chastity rallies and secret obsessions. Along side these stories will be interviews of pastors reflecting on their own teachings, as well historians and sociologists diagramming the evolution of sexual teaching in the Church. Intercut throughout will be poignant stop-motion animation bringing to life the pain, joy, triumph and sorrow of our interviewees.

The filmmakers need to raise $30,000 to fund the project, and Matt is offering some incentives that are sure to appeal to Chuck fans, including high-quality, framed, signed photos of Yvonne Strahovski or Scott Krinsky and Vik Sahay.
