He decides to go deer hunting by himself for the first time ever, despite his wife’s objections. Setting out into the mountains with a borrowed rifle, Joe roams the woods aimlessly in his search for deer.

“His boredom is short-lived, however, when in the blink of an eye, Joe undergoes a traumatic experience. What starts as an experiment to prove himself as a capable father and husband turns into a nightmare as Joe finds himself faced with a terrible choice that he must make.”

Having first premiered on the Tribeca Film Festival in June 2022, The Integrity of Joseph Chambers went on to change into a critic favorite, scoring a smashing 91% approval score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Starring Clayne Crawford within the lead, Jordana Brewster, Michael Raymond-James, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Carl Kennedy, Colt Crawford, and Hix Crawford spherical out the film’s supporting forged.

In a 2023 interview with Flickering Myth, lead actor Clayne Crawford stated of working with director Robert Machoian: “Robert and I complement one another. He is highly technical, a photographer by trade, and a photography professor at B.Y.U. The frames he creates are so beautiful. And he allows the actor to explore the character without restraints or restrictions. His scripts are so sparse that it leaves so much room for interpretation. Again, he gives an actor the space to create freely.”

Garnering glowing critiques, one critic stated of the movie: “This film deserves a bigger audience. We need more movies like this that engage art and theology in equal measure; films that ask audiences to think carefully about something beautiful but hard—integrity—that we’d all do well to think about more.”

While one other reviewer wrote: “With The Integrity of Joseph Chambers, Machoian doubles down on all the sensibilities that make his films so innately captivating and his latest feature film might be his most surprisingly poignant work so far.”

A 3rd critic added: “The feature observes such misfortune with a sharp understanding of reaction and thought, giving Crawford room to act in a slow-burn but riveting study of panic.”

While one other viewer stated: “For the most part, this is an absorbing and nuanced character sketch, with a well-deployed supporting cast.”
