He lives on audio tapes, passed through a vast underground fraternity. His sermons have become a "secret handshake" uniting the famous, infamous and unknown.

Friends Seen and Unseen, the debut documentary from genuine human productions chronicles the true story of the Prophet Omega, an obscure radio evangelist in Nashville, Tennessee. Preaching the word from his apartment, number Q258, Omega's identity has never been revealed - until now.
In its guide to the 2000 Nashville Independent Film Festival, the Nashville Scene wrote:

"This half-hour documentary may be the festival's most eagerly anticipated film … (it) should attract every musician in town."

The prediction was true.

 
Friends Seen and Unseen was the only film in the festival to sell out two screenings in advance. The documentary was awarded one of four Tennessee Spirit Awards earning an encore screening before the Directors Guild in Los Angeles in August 2000. Nashville Film Festival Director Michael Catalano says "I've gotten calls from as far as New York and Los Angeles…the buzz is unreal, people want to see this piece."

Adding to the accolades the Nashville Scene concluded, "the Prophet Omega piece was a real winner… (with) characters, details and stray bits of history and knowledge that were richer than fiction…. The movie is an ingenious piece of detective work about the transmission of urban folklore."

Friends Seen and Unseen is a genuine human production, written and produced by Kathy Conkwright and Demetria Kalodimos, two women with 2 decades of local and network television experience.
