Coming out of the closet can be a challenging experience, and for Ky
Dickens, her experience coming out to friends at Vanderbilt University,
led to Fish Out of Water, a spirited documentary that explores the seven
Bible passages notoriously used to condemn homosexuality and justify
marriage discrimination.
The documentary, a genre-bending, intellectually condensed, power-packed
analysis of the homophobic religious arguments, is a mixture of
animation, LGBTQ community interviews and expert analysis from
theologians across the country. Dickens makes this polarizing subject
accessible and non-threatening with the use of a cartoon narrator,
animated recollections of Bible passages and witty illustrations.
Covering over twenty states and capturing the gay community's
devastation immediately after the 2008 vote on Proposition 8, Fish out
of Water presents the hyper-relevance of this old issue with concern and
creativity.
Golden-Globe nominated Kaki King has created an original score for this
genre-bending work. Fish out of Water is Kaki's first full-length score
since her acclaimed work on Into the Wild with Eddie Vedder.
