Jeremy Pope’s Short ‘God Is Good’ Acquired by The Criterion Channel (EXCLUSIVE)


'God Is Good,' a short written by and starring Jeremy Pope, has been acquired by The Criterion Channel.

The film is billed as a blend of memoir, monologue, surrealism and dance as Pope explores masculinity, vulnerability and societal expectations as seen through the lens of a Black queer man in America. Raised by a preacher and a professional bodybuilder father, Pope draws on his upbringing to confront internalized homophobia and navigate his identity. “I’ve made it my mission to unpack the unhealthy behaviors and ideas about my existence that don’t serve me in a positive way all in an effort to love my strength, my vulnerability, and how it all informs my heart and mind.
