==Awards==
''Armageddon Gospels'' is a [[feature film]] production and was created in direct response to what occurred in 2016. On January the 10th, [[David Bowie]] died and on the 2nd of February, Harrigan's mother died and on the 23rd of June, Britain voted to leave the [[European Union]]. Writer and Director John Harrigan combined these events into a story about refugee gods, returning to search for the [[holy grail]], in a ritual that might save the mythic landscape of England from the haunted presence of an entity called the [[Mari Lwyd|Bone King]]. Armageddon Gospels was shot in [[East Sussex]] on the [[South Downs]]. The finale scene was shot at the feet of the [[Long Man of Wilmington]].
