A representative for Gautier did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

In addition to Eternal Salvation, Gautier wrote and produced a 2003 short film called A Fight for Glory, which also lists his wife Gina as a producer.

Gautier, who has worked in the film industry for over 15 years, also served as the creator and executive producer for the magazine entertainment television series Stars of Tomorrow, according to his profile on the Eternal Salvation movie’s website.

Online jail records show that Gautier is currently held on $500,000 bond at the Ventura Pre-Trial Detention Facility.

He may have written ‘Eternal Salvation,’ but he’s definitely headed for eternal damnation now…that is, if he believes in it.
