I Met An Angel Named Jacques

Written and directed by Gideon Wilonja

A boy lost in grief.

A man consumed by ego.

A mother desperate to save her child’s soul.

A poetic, bruising dive into the ways we love, I Met An Angel Named Jacques is a tale about the ache for validation, facing your demons, and the dangerous comfort of familiar pain. Exploring the incessant human need for validation and the lengths we go to find it; it’s an electric love story that hates romance.
