I Was an Elder

“You can leave the church, but the church never leaves you.”

I WAS AN ELDER follows a gay ex-Mormon’s inward and outward journey back to the country where he served a two-year mission 20 years ago. Filmed on location in New South Wales, Australia, witness Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Jordan Currier’s battle to reconcile a painful past with a hopeful future using candid imagery, and personal accounts. Through Currier’s sui generis style — a blend of documentary verité and music video-inspired arthouse experimentation — experience his poignant story, decades in the making.
Filmed, edited, produced, written, and directed by Jordan Currier.
