AFI Fest American Directions film "The Comic Evangelists" follows the travails of a Christian improv group lead by its messianic leader Rick (played by Dann Sytsma who is also co-director). When fellow improver Nigel suggests that the group head north to attend the Toronto International Improv Festival, they take a van up to the city excited about spreading the word of the Lord--but things go awry when one of the members comes out and the group take the stage via a big lie. The group (pictured here following their screening earlier this week at the festival--with co-directors Sytsma and Daniel Jones on the far right) had held a mock protest in the courtyard of the Arclight to draw attention to their film.
