The Custom Mary

The Custom Mary is a 2011 American drama film written and directed by Matt Dunnerstick.

Set in Los Angeles, the film tells the story of young Latina in East Los Angeles, who meets an African-American Lowrider, and struggles to reconcile her faith and blossoming love affair while becoming dangerously involved in a religious attempt to clone Jesus.

Mary becomes pregnant, and as the day of birth approaches, both Joe and the preachers fight for her attention.

Battling real and imagined truths, Mary begins a secret journey to the desert, seeking answers in a surprising and surreal way.

The Custom Mary is a combination of a classic, indie love story and an exploration of faith and fanaticism, set amidst the gritty urban world of lowrider culture.
