The Bible is filled with stories of violence and intrigue so should it be taboo to portray it realistically in a film? Even the title "In the Closet" scared off some Christians. Kimo Leopoldo who stars in this film explains it well at the MMA convention in Los Angeles when he talks about it referring to Matthew 6:6 King James: "But when ye prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy father which seethe in secret shall reward thee openly." This film deals with many of the skeletons that we all have in our closets personally and as a nation.

Genre: Drama
A highlight of the evening will be a special Biblical Films presentation of the thought provoking stage play Undertow, by Harlem Renaissance playwright Eulalie Spence, directed by Rosemarie Smith-Coleman. Eulalie Spence's 1927 play Undertow is one of her lasting works, and one of the few plays from the Harlem Renaissance era that can be successfully produced today.The story develops around infidelity and redemption. During the mid-1920s, a time when there was conflict about how African-Americans should be represented on stage, Spence not only insisted on using Black dialect in her works, she frequently addressed issues such as racism, infidelity, the roles of women, and socio-economic effects on the family to bring full awareness to the African-American experience at that time. While the characters in her plays are predominantly black, Spence avoided primarily racial themes in her plays in favor of more universal themes.
