The Passion of the Fans

At the end of the winter of 2004, as Los Angeles began to warm up from a frigid 67 degrees to a flaming 71 degrees, Mel Gibson's brilliant but bloody controversial opus finally arrived. And it gave us a bloody Big Idea.

On February 28th we gathered up a few old sheets and a plastic light saber, then headed downtown to experience the awesome cinematic event firsthand. Like most obsessive fans of fantasy film, we love getting dressed up to go to the movies. Sometimes the line is better than the movie!

Our resulting 3 minute film, The Passion of the Fans, stars the members of Mighty McPilgrim along with Jennifer Secord and Ryan MacFarlane. Special thanks to Dan Sankey, Liam Doherty, and Jesus H. Christ for their assistance and patience during the sunny Saturday afternoon shoot.

Written by MMP and superbly edited by Jennifer Secord. Music from Tom Adelstein and Ryan Gantz. And the talented Sean White wrote and recorded our quirky Mighty McTheme, which concludes the piece.

Enjoy, and God Bless!
