Hot Chicks: The Jack Chick Film Festival

No, I’m not talking about the Chick-sanctioned cartoons discussed here. I’m talking about 9 filmmakers who’ve interpreted 9 different Chick tracts for the big screen (using actors, animation, and whatever else strikes their fancy), while still using all of the original tract elements (story, dialogue, etc.).

Already featured at the LA Film Festival, certain legal issues about copyright, music clearances, etc. means this will not be running in your local arthouse. But if you’re going to be in the vicinity of Silver Lake, CA on July 8th, you might want to check it out. Here’s a write-up. The official website also has music downloads and other tract dramatizations.

Has Jack made any comment on this? The linked article doesn’t say.

When reached for comment, Mr. Chick was quoted as saying : “Haw! Haw!”

I’m sure he’s sicced his lawyers on the folks, like he did with the guy who did “Eaten First!”

!!! Cite?!

Have you forgotten already?

I just saw the made-for-the-site version of ONE WAY… Glorious. Pretty accurate except for a heretical, non-Chickian “The Fall=Sex” scene.

It was never clear Chick’s lawyers were involved in that.

Did you not see Minty’s link to a copy of the Cease & Desist letter sent by Chick’s lawyers?
