Director Jela Oba Okpara is currently working on transitioning his latest desert martial arts thriller, The Last Girl into a feature film. The details are under wraps, some of which will hopefully come to light soon enough. In the meantime, Okpara‘s newest endeavor from his Spectacle Pictures banner is now available for viewing in the form of the new shortfilm trailer for Ascended Masters, a conceptualized story centered on the unwritten pages of Jesus Christ’s life between the ages of 12 and 30, entertaining the idea of a possible existence of a “kung fu Jesus” so to speak.
Nick Denbeigh stars as “Yeshua” along with Oscar Perez as the wandering monk “Siddhartha”, with action sequences designed by Chibi. Ascended Masters is expected to arrive before the year is out, so in the meantime, check out the trailer below addition to a small gallery of stills and BTS pics courtesy of the Spectacle Pictures Twitter Feed.
