A gay, Jewish advertising writer spiraling into meth addiction is chosen by God — disguised as a twink on Grindr — to save New York City from its addiction to smartphones before it's completely destroyed.
MEET JONAS DAVID
He’s a stubborn and rebellious smart ass with a heart of gold. By day, he’s an advertising writer working for a tech company. By night, he’s a drug addict, caught up in the “chemsex” subculture of New York City where gay men meet and use crystal meth.
Jonas’s life is going off the rails until one day he sees a mysterious sign that tells him his life is about to change. When Jonas meets God in the form a young man named Jack, he learns he’s been chosen to deliver a divine warning to the people about their own addiction to technology. It turns out to be a mission that just might save Jonas’s own life.
A MODERN EPIC ABOUT ADDICTION & RECOVERY
MY NAME IS JONAS is modern retelling of the Book of Jonah that explores the impact that addiction to drugs and technology can have on people and society.
The original anti-hero returns.
The Book of Jonah is an ancient Jewish legend about a rebel prophet who tries running away from his mission in life. The film reimagines key plot points from the original text and reintroduces audiences to one of the unlikeliest superheroes of all time.
