A Dallas couple\u2019s cinematic labor of love will begin streaming on Apple TV<\/a> on\u00a0Aug. 14.<\/p>\n

Josh Jordan wrote and directed the black-and-white film about a monk living an unconventional life in a monastery on the Texas coast, and Jessica Jordan served as a producer. They said the film would be coming to other platforms soon.<\/p>\n

The couple said the low-budget film was shot in 15 days, using locations including Dallas\u2019 St. Seraphim Orthodox Cathedral; a monastery in Kent, Texas; and a remote island off Port O\u2019Connor.<\/p>\n

Matthew Posey, the founder and artistic director of Dallas\u2019 Ochre House Theater, stars as rule-breaking monk Father John, who is inching toward sainthood as a \u201choly fool,\u201d a figure in Christian tradition who embraces unconventional or seemingly foolish behavior as an expression of faith. The cast also includes Franky Mosley, Jordan Walker Ross, Barry Corbin and Tim DeLaughter<\/a>, the frontman for Dallas rock bands Tripping Daisy<\/a> and the Polyphonic Spree<\/a>, of which Jessica Jordan is a member.<\/p>\n

Josh Jordan got his start behind the camera directing music videos for the Polyphonic Spree and Joshua Ray Walker<\/a>. The Polyphonic Spree contributed vocals to El Tonto Por Cristo\u2019s moody soundtrack.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Dallas couple\u2019s cinematic labor of love will begin streaming on Apple TV on\u00a0Aug. 14.
