"Audience of One" is an award-winning 2007 documentary directed by Michael Jacobs that premiered on 9 March, 2007 at the South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin, Texas.

Overview

It follows the story of a San Francisco pentecostal minister Richard Gazowsky on his quest to shoot a groundbreaking fantasy film called "Gravity: The Shadow of Joseph" (described by him as "Star Wars meets The Ten Commandments"). The film follows him and members of his church as they go through pre-production and fly to Alberobello, Italy for initial shooting that turns out to be marred with difficulties. After returning home, Gazowsky manages to arrange a lease of the Treasure Island film studio, but as their promised financing from German investors never materializes, they get evicted - and eventually sued - by the city of San Francisco for not paying their rent. The final part of the film shows Gazowsky, still determined to make his film, presenting what appears to be a global domination plan to members of his church.
