“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds."

The Pretender (1987)
This 39 minute film is available with two other shorts by the Christiano brothers (and that has to be a pseudonym) on video. It's reportedly an often seen and fairly well-regarded film in some Christian circles, but its amateurism and 1980's fashions have made it an easy target for some. A guy wants a girl to be his girlfriend and she's a devout Christian, so he pretends he is too. She falls for his routine for a while, but is saved from sleeping with him and learns a valuable lesson, a lesson that seems questionable if you didn't believe it already. It isn't worth seeking out and the other two films are actually worse.
