Project: Nativity: A Journey of Faith

This film aims to bring the Nativity story to life in a fresh, character-driven approach. By focusing on the human elements of faith, doubt, and transformation, we'll create a relatable and powerful narrative that resonates with modern audiences while staying true to the biblical account.

In a time of Roman occupation, a young woman named Mary receives a divine visitation, setting in motion a series of events that will change the world. As Mary grapples with her extraordinary calling, her betrothed, Joseph, must come to terms with a situation that challenges his faith and social standing. Against the backdrop of a oppressive political climate under King Herod, Mary and Joseph embark on a perilous journey to Bethlehem. Meanwhile, in the East, a group of wise men interpret celestial signs and begin their own quest. The story culminates in the humble birth of Jesus, with shepherds and wise men alike paying homage, while Herod's jealousy and fear lead to tragic consequences that force the holy family to flee to Egypt. Throughout, we explore themes of faith, obedience, love, and the tension between divine plans and human understanding.

Project: Moses- From Prince to Prophet

Director's Vision: Our film will bring this timeless story to life with a fresh, modern sensibility. By using cutting-edge visual effects, we'll create stunning depictions of the plagues and the parting of the Red Sea, while maintaining focus on Moses' internal journey and the human drama at the heart of the Exodus story.

Logline A timid prince becomes the bold leader of a nation in this epic retelling of Moses' journey from privileged Egyptian royal to humble prophet, set against the backdrop of the Ten Plagues and the Exodus. Synopsis In ancient Egypt, Moses, a Hebrew raised as an Egyptian prince, struggles with his identity and purpose. After killing a man in a misguided attempt at justice, he flees to the desert. There, a divine encounter at a burning bush transforms him from a stuttering shepherd to God's chosen deliverer. Returning to Egypt, Moses confronts the prideful Pharaoh, portrayed as a charismatic leader with a god complex. As Moses gains confidence, Pharaoh's arrogance crumbles in the face of increasingly devastating plagues. The story culminates in the dramatic parting of the Red Sea, with Moses leading his people to freedom. Interwoven with this epic tale are intimate family dynamics: Moses' complex relationship with his siblings Aaron and Miriam, the challenges of uniting a fractured people, and the weight of leadership in the face of doubt and opposition. Unique Aspects Focus on Moses' character growth from timid prince to confident leader Strong emphasis on family dynamics and interpersonal conflicts Innovative use of AI-driven visual effects for spectacular scenes, allowing for high production value at a reduced cost Blend of intimate character moments with grand, biblical spectacle Target Audience Primary: Faith-based audiences, fans of historical epics Secondary: General audiences interested in character-driven dramas and spectacular visual effects

Project: People Pleaser

During the making of my first film, I came up with a great idea for a Horror film. I aim to finish this project in secret so I can release it next year. It will be a simple but effective slow burn that mixes Vampire movie elements with Thriller movies about crazy girlfriends. Think "Play Misty For Me" meets "Fright Night". 

Elmer, a meek and weak man, meets a girl he apparently went to high school with named Emilia. She quickly takes over his life, his work, and puts him under her spell. Can he stand up to her and turn his life around before it's too late?
