Tim, a talented, yet unknown LA artist bluffs his way into winning a commission to create the world’s largest stained-glass window of its kind, for the biggest mainline church in America. The problem is, Tim doesn’t know how to make it. After a desperate search, he finds someone who might have the answer: a world-famous Italian glass maestro. As tensions and egos collide, both mentor and protégé come to realize it will take their combined focus to overcome the three-year race-against-time, the complications of a $1.2 billion class-action lawsuit, and the many obstacles that emerge when attempting a masterpiece. Within the niche world of this ancient art form, HOLY FRIT provides a fun, heartfelt, and comedic look into the drama of any human endeavor that is greater than the sum of its parts. Followed by a panel discussion, moderated by glass artist Nancy Gong.
