Holy Fool Films | Josh David & Jessica Jordan

We’re independent filmmakers from Texas telling stories that aren’t afraid to be quiet, strange, or sacred. Our latest feature, El Tonto Por Cristo, is a black-and-white cinematic meditation on the Orthodox tradition of the Holy Fool—a brotherhood of monks who live within the tension of holiness and humanity.

Through our studio, Holy Fool Films, we create art outside the system and bring it directly to audiences. We believe in the power of small crews, big beauty, and handcrafted distribution. Our roadshow screenings are less like Hollywood premieres and more like pilgrimage stops—community-centered, visually arresting, and designed to linger long after the credits roll.
