Cult favorite underground Satanic Priest documentary

Synopsis

Documentary about the underground artist Steven Johnson Leyba, a man who is a priest in the Church of Satan, a Native American activist, and an infamous performance artist. Leyba's unconventional life is revealed in a frank, personal manner that diffuses the shock value of his more startling behavior. The film documents the private blood rituals, the profane art, the performances, and other oddities but doesn't wallow fecklessly in them.

Cast

Crew

This documentary is about as "indie" as they come, yet it somehow manages to grab interviews with the High Priestess of the Church of Satan, as well as Underground Photographer/ Anthropologist Charles Gatewood, Satanic Painter Billy Warsoldier, and President of the Tom of Finland Foundation Durk Dehner.

"Along with 'CRUMB' and 'Hated [GG Allin & the Murder Junkies]' 'UNSPEAKABLE' is one of the most personal documentaries about an artist I've ever seen." --Filmmaker Larry Wessel

"I must have a copy of this movie!"--H.R. Giger, Artist (creator of the Alien in the "Alien" films), after the Lausanne Underground Film Festival screening in Switzerland.

"If films were based solely on shock value, “Unspeakable” would be a masterpiece, even to this self-professed jaded critic." --Film Threat!

"This is THE MOST underground film I have ever seen, and I've seen it all!" --audience member
