Production
Development
Father Jejemon was produced under RVQ Productions with Frank Gray Jr. as its director. The film is Gray's first work since the 1977 film Omeng Satanasia[5] Bibeth Orteza and Rhandy Reyes did the screenplay.[3] Dominican priest Larry Faraon served as a story consultant.[4][3][6]
Dolphy came up with the idea to create a film about a priest. His long time dream is to portray the role of a priest. He got the idea from his uncle who was a priest. Dolphy was initially hesitant of the idea due to fear of the film being subject to censorship but his uncle offered him to help write the script. The idea was put on hold when his uncle died.[3]
Communion scenes
However the film still received controversy from leaders of the Roman Catholic church in the Philippines for scenes involving the communion; one scene where the priest accidentally drops a host between a woman's breast, and another where the host was snagged by a person with their false teeth.[6][7] The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board received a complaint over these contentious scenes.[8] Fr. Faraon greenlit the scenes reasoning that these kind of scenarios actually happen in real life.[4] Nevertheless, these scenes were voluntarily edited out by the production studio for the theatrical release.[6] The film passed a second review by the MTRCB.[9]
Release
Father Jejemon was released in the Philippines on December 25, 2010 as one of the official entries of the 2010 Metro Manila Film Festival.[1]
