From the director's statement: A few months before I began developing this film project, I went back home to Zamboanga for a vacation and casually met with my friends and relatives. But one afternoon, much to my surprise, someone close to my family shared his deep, dark secret. According to him, it all started when he accidentally killed his high school classmate during a fight. He was able to run away, only to eventually be trapped in the world of the syndicate. I was startled to hear this. I have known this man all my life as someone who is caring and loving. I never would have thought that he had experienced such things. After that long conversation, we never spoke about it again. Thus began Sheron Dayoc's trip towards “Gospel of the Beast”, seven years after his previous feature, the multi-awarded “Women of the Weeping River”.

Bullying has been a real and present danger in society and particularly in schooling life all over the world for a long, long time now. The advent of technological advances and the internet has brought this vice into the modern day, with the internet and social media often being tools to spread rumours about and malign someone truthfully or incorrectly. The speed with which such things spread and trend is often frightening. First-time director Arden Roz Condez combines several true stories – stories that could even be coming true right now around you – for his powerful debut film “John Denver Trending”. The film screened at Busan International Film Festival last year where it was nominated for Best Film- New Currents and won Best Film and Best Actor, among other awards, at the 2019 Cinemalaya.
