John Puckett
John Puckett’s filmography isn’t exactly what you’d call boring. You’ve got “Jesus Revolution” (2023), which basically dives headfirst into the wild and weird world of the ‘70s spiritual revival. Think long hair, bell bottoms, a bunch of hippies trying to find meaning—and suddenly, religion’s got a new groove. The movie doesn’t just preach; it kinda drags you right into the chaos and questions of the era. People are searching, churches are freaking out, and nobody’s really sure if it’s the end of the world or just the start of something bigger. Puckett doesn’t sugarcoat, either. He lets the messiness show.
Jump over to “Homestead” (2024), and you’re in a totally different universe. This one leans into the whole rugged survival thing, but not like some paint-by-numbers frontier story. It’s gritty. Families scraping by, nature kicking their butts, and danger always lurking. There’s a sense that no one’s safe, and every decision—planting crops, trusting neighbors—could be life or death. Puckett plays with tension, and you’re never quite sure who you should root for.
Now, “House of David” (2025) is on the horizon, and honestly, people are already buzzing about it. Details are still under wraps, but if Puckett’s style holds, expect something ambitious and probably a bit controversial. He doesn’t really do safe, predictable stories. There’s always an edge—a feeling that things could unravel at any second. So yeah, if you’re into movies that actually make you think (or yell at the screen), Puckett’s stuff is worth keeping an eye on.
