A Beautiful Day (for the Lord's Work) is an experimental religio-horror short flick with uncanny dialogue and an unusual style that perfectly enhances the weirdness of the script. The film centers on three 'travelers' who emerge from the wilderness to bring judgment to an idyllic Oklahoma community. The nightmarish mood of the project is enhanced by its film-like appearance - the tone shifts from old to new, from ancient evil to current fear. Filming entirely on location in Dale, Oklahoma, Outsiders Productions offers up a visually arresting short that is at once gorgeous, repulsive, kinetic, and downright creepy. With terrific performances, haunting imagery - both visual and throughout the conversations of the mysterious three - as well as a uniquely effective editing style, A Beautiful Day is an unforgettable, disturbing descent into madness, judgment, and the unforgiving hand of a brutal crusade.
