The Jesus Picture
Director: Tanya Meronk Producer: Fabulous Airhead Productions Actors: Hollis Fox, Eleanor M. Wilson, Sarah Dacey Charles, Mary Chesterman Screenplay: Kim Horning Cinematographer: Trisha Solyn Editor: Tanya Meronk
I have wanted to tell this story for a very long time. "The Jesus Picture," is a narrative short, based on actual events. In 1950, my mother, an angel unawares, was teaching in a school district near Dover Delaware. Among the faculty was a shy, young woman named "Ruthie"....the would-be heroine of our story. Since my mom & "Ruthie" were about the same age, they would often eat lunch together, sharing giggles & girl talk. My mother became quite fond of Ruthie, & those warm feelings were reciprocated. Over time however, my mom noticed that Ruthie seemed to be under an enormous strain. It seems that our Ruthie was actually quite religious, and her impending marriage to a man of a different faith began to gnaw away at her mind, until her very reason gave way, & she did the unthinkable. Set against the backdrop of 1950's America "The Jesus Picture," is a dark morality tale. And a film that will keep you guessing right up until the very last frame.
