The Proper Care & Feeding of an American Messiah is a 2006 English-language Comedy film. 'The Proper Care & Feeding of an American Messiah' is the mockumentary story of a man who thinks he is a messiah. Not *the* messiah, but rather a local, regionally selected messiah for his own home-town. He's on a quest, desperately trying to raise money for a town-wide rally where he hopes to announce his deity - and to determine his true, god-given 'special purpose' in life - which may or may not have something to do with ailments of the lower gastrointestinal tract, but he won't be sure until he hears or less directly from Yahweh. Written by Chris Hansen. The proper care & feeding of an american messiah features Dustin Olson in the lead role along with an ensemble cast including Joseph Frost, Ellen Halper, Tony Hale, Anne Dennis, Sierra Dennis and Brian Elliott.
