I. Thou Shalt Not Worship False Idols

A closeted Republican TikToker’s life starts to unravel when his obsession with a childhood tchotchke shatters the fragile reality he’s cobbled together for himself.

I. THOU SHALT NOT WORSHIP FALSE IDOLS is the pilot episode of a short film anthology series called THE DECALOGUE, also written and directed by Christian Banda. THE DECALOGUE uses The Ten Commandments to explore grief, politics, identity, love, and ideology through the worlds of ten different characters living in contemporary Brooklyn, New York.
