Jennifer Lynch daughter of cult film auteur David Lynch made her auspicious directorial debut in 1993 with Boxing Helena at the Sundance Film Festival. A box office disaster the film was viciously mauled by critics and became the focus of multiple lawsuits. Fifteen years later after an extended hiatus recovering from addiction and a serious back injury, hard-working single mother Lynch returns to the director’s chair with an ambitious project that will test her skills and the entire crew’s sanity.

Despite the Gods brings us behind the scenes on the set of Lynch’s Bollywood/Hollywood action film about a man eating snake goddess. Braving the unmapped territory of Bollywood-Hollywood movie making, chaos is the process and filmmaking doubles as a crash course in acceptance and self-realization.

Language: English - Runtime: 85 and 52 mins

“A penetrating, highly entertaining portrait of Lynch as an artist and single mother living through the despairing lows and exhilarating highs of filming on the subcontinent.” 
- Variety

“Vozniak’s observational eye illuminates the intensity and transcendent beauty of the artistic process.”
