The Sadness of Johnson Joe Jangles is a Canadian experimental short drama film, directed by Jeffrey St. Jules and released in 2004. [1] The film stars Zachary Bennett as the titular Johnson Joe Jangles, a gay cowboy who aspires to start a family with his husband Pete (Gregory White), only for their dreams to be tested when Clay Fantasia (Soo Garay) offers them jobs in a lawless frontier town where even the basic laws of nature don't apply. [2]
The cast also includes Keir Gilchrist, Shayne Taylor and Cherisse Woonsam.
Made as St. Jules' student project for the Canadian Film Centre, [2] the film incorporates both surreal fantasy and musical elements, with its visual style influenced by both Caravaggio and David LaChapelle. [2]
The film premiered on June 7, 2004, at a screening series of short films by that year's CFC graduates. [2] It was later screened at the 2004 Montreal World Film Festival, [3] and the 2004 Toronto International Film Festival. [4]
At the 2005 CFC Worldwide Short Film Festival, St. Jules won the Jackson-Triggs Award for Best Emerging Canadian Filmmaker. [5]
