Judas Kiss

Directed by J.T. Tepnapa2011USA/Canada102 mins

If you had the chance to go back and tell your younger self what mistakes not to make, would you take it? Judas Kiss follows filmmaker Zach Wells, once a young directing prodigy. Now a recovering alcoholic who gets the rare job filming weddings in Hollywood, Zach mooches off his old college friend, successful horror director Topher Shadoe.

When Topher has to back out of judging a film competition at their alma mater, he convinces Zach to go in his place. While Zach seems disconcerted in his old stomping grounds, he finds comfort in the arms of a handsome young man at the local gay bar. Maybe being back isn’t so bad after all. But then he realizes that one of the filmmakers he’s supposed to be judging has his name – and is screening the same film that he won the competition with years ago. He discovers a quirk in time and space that gives him an opportunity to make right what, in retrospect, went wrong all those years ago. Zach’s young doppelganger is more interested in finding sex, love and filmmaking stardom than in listening to strange theories about time travel. Will Zach get a second chance? Will his younger self choose love and friendship over money and fame—that’s sure to fade in time.
