HOLY CHAOS IS A DOCUMENTARY FILM that follows the creation of an unconventional and countercultural fresco mural inside the sanctuary of a homeless church in Asheville, North Carolina. This is a mural not of the rich or the powerful – at least in society’s eyes – but of people battling homelessness, addiction, and mental illness.
From first sketch to final unveiling, the viewer will experience the highs and lows of the creative process with the fresco's principal artist Christopher Holt, while also meeting those he depicts in the mural. Featuring an ensemble cast of rich and complex characters, Holy Chaos will examine the intersection of poverty and portraiture and who our society deems worthy enough to immortalize in art.
