[edit] History
In late 2006 Director Brian Keith Dalton decided to make a series of short comedy films about God surveying the universe with his assistant. The first episode, called Mr Deity and the Evil, features only Dalton and his friend, cinematographer Jimbo Marshall, making decisions about what evils to allow. Jesus appears in the second episode, played by Sean Douglas. Lucifer (or Lucy) appears later in the first season, played by Amy Rohren. After the last episode of the first season Dalton signed a deal with Sony Pictures Entertainment; they are currently trying to get the show on HBO. They have also have made a deal with crackle.com, which will air the rest of their episodes.
