Comedy

Black comedy about a rogue Catholic priest who’s turned Catholicism into his own cash-cow.

Originally titled Holy Crap it’s about Fr. James, an unscrupulous and materialistic priest who makes a fortune from dodgy dealings and money-making schemes. His world’s turned upside down by the unexpected arrival of Fr. Tyler, an idealistic trainee priest from the city, and Archbishop Muntz, an embattled spin doctor who wants to use his remote rural parish as a safe house from the prying eyes of the media while he prepares for a tilt at the Vatican.

“…an excellently written, dark comedy set in rural Australia. The humor in the pilot is a wonderful combination of charming characters, witty dialogue reminiscent of “The Castle”, and a more subversive, edgy side.” – The Black List

“…as confident and assured as it is eloquent, and yet it still manages to deliver laugh out loud lines. The humor displays a clever wit and dry, dark sensibility.” – The Black List

30min pilot script.
