Jason and deMarco have dealt with conflict all their lives. Being gay, Christian, and a struggling singer-songwriter duo will do that. They first had to deal with their inner conflicts in accepting their own homosexuality, then their parents' reactions, and now the not-so-welcoming reaction of the Christian music world. Sexy, funny and inspirational, the award-winning "We're All Angels" follows Jason and deMarco as they prepare their newest CD, laying down tracks in the studio, doing photo shoots, radio promotion, and performing across the country at any church that'll have them. While they strive to achieve a successful musical career, their message of hope and acceptance to young gay Christian teenagers is nothing less than life-saving. The teenage suicide rate among this demographic is horribly high, and Jason and deMarco are positive role models for kids struggling with their conflicting sexuality/spirituality. As their producer's mother says, "It must break God's heart the things we do in the name of religion." Amen.
Following a hugely successful run on Showtime, "We're All Angels" is now available on an extras-packed deluxe DVD that includes a 40-minute "making of" featurette, two full-length musical performances, 13 deleted scenes, a mini-documentary on what the Bible really has to say about being gay, a revealing audio commentary and more.
Closed captioned for the hearing impaired.
My film review...
We're All Angels is the incredible true story of 2 men who defy "traditional" definitions and roles to share their love of music, God and each other with the world. Share their journey as they work on the creation and release of their first pop album and learn about their journey together.
Masterfully filmed and produced by Robert Nunez, this movie is not just for those who are already fans of Jason & deMarco's music. In fact, you don't even need to be a fan of their music to take away the most important message of this film - that indeed, We're All Angels regardless of our sexuality or older teachings of religious institutions. Love is the most important thing, and with this movie, you'll see how these two incredible young men demonstrate that with every note they sing.
