Erica Nix, beloved fitness and workout guru (and unlikely Austin mayoral candidate), presents her first feature-length film showcasing a large cast of Austin’s celebrated queer icons.

In the spiritual follow-up to her 2019 performance art piece, This Is Not A Cult, ERICA'S FIRST HOLY SHIT is a comedic psychosexual lesbian fantasia of adventure and discovery. Her psychedelic opus is a tribute to old Austin, an homage to keeping things weird in a changing landscape that is no longer artist-friendly, and a salute to trying desperately to do the right thing but never getting it quite right. In a bizarre instance of life imitating art, the film depicts Erica running for mayor of Austin, which in turn has resulted in Erica actually running for mayor of Austin.

Taking inspiration from the likes of Waking Life and The Holy Mountain, the film is a psychedelic mash up of genres and formats ranging from confessional monologues, outré humor, game show segments, explorations in self-help, and mind-bending visual freak outs.

Tackling some of Erica’s most vulnerable insecurities, ERICA'S FIRST HOLY SHIT is a personal film satire on the mass culture of seekers and the insatiable need for personal fulfillment. Join Erica as she explores religion, psychedelic rituals, therapeutic healing, and politics.

Will Erica's inner truth set her free or set the world on fire?
