The movie I'm working on now is called "Essence," and is an excerpt from a feature-length screenplay entitled "Mrs. Benning's Vagina."
It's about 2 teenage boys in the 70s who discover and older couple who place erotic passion at the base of their beliefs, making it -- not mystical faith in an impaled martyr -- the source of their ethics and spirituality.
It's part of my ongoing protest against a culture that condemns depictions of erotic passion as obscene, while it not only permits but promotes teaching children that they are eternally indebted to a man sadistically murdered 2000 years ago.
And it's also kind of humorous.

Is it humorous in a funny (haha) kind of way, or humorous in an ironic kind of way?
