In October we are shooting the short film, A Twist of Faith, written by Marsha Bolden, PhD.  She is currently auditioning folk for roles. If you are interested in working as cast or crew email Marsha at ScriptPerfect@outlook.com. Send her your headshot and resume.

A Twist of Faith tells the story of a community in Dallas that discovers a church of the occult has moved into their Christian community.  Pastor Crenshaw has taught his congregation many biblical truths but now he must face an evil entity and give his congregation a lesson in fighting the good fight.

Characters:

• Pastor Crenshaw – (Male/African American; 40-50) – Pastor Crenshaw took over his father church after his death five years ago. Very relaxed, easy going, mild personality.
• Evelyn Crenshaw (Female/African American; 40-50) – Pastor Crenshaw’s wife. She looks good for her age and is a classy dresser.  She is very devoted to Pastor Crenshaw and she’s a worrier.
• Deacon Lester – (Male/African American; mid 50’s – 65) – Deacon Lester is henpecked as he is very much afraid of his wife. He flirts behind her back. Although he is a devout Christian, he can be shaky in the presence of a beautiful woman.  He is comical in his conversations with Maxi (his wife) because she annoys him.
• Maxi Lester – (Female/African American; mid 50’s- 65) – Very outspoken and firm. She never lets a word go unspoken if she thinks it needs to be said.  She wears beautiful Sunday hats and is quick witted.  She’s a sharp dresser and fusses over Deacon Lester every Sunday morning.  She is firm with Deacon Lester because she thinks he is irresponsible.
• Zenith – (Female/African American; late 20′s – mid 30′s) – Extremely beautiful and shapely. She is a sharp dresser and wears five inch stilettoes.   She has a good heart but is very naïve about the occult she is a part of.  She is very likeable and tender when she talks to Jason but can come across as cold otherwise.

These next two weeks are monumental in life of the movie Family Tree. Like a baby, I have been nurturing it, pouring over it and praying for it. When God give you a vision, it is best that you stay in contact with Him on how to proceed.  God has been faithful to bring all of these folk together, and I am amazed at Him allowing me to lead it. This project has allowed me to see God operate in my life in a way He has never operated before. I would have never known if I had not picked up the mantel.

I still get a kick out of my actors each time I watch the movie. There were some really good choices made and I am sure you are going to agree. Some of these folks stepped out on faith, and I am glad they did.  Not everyone who showed up was on board, and you have to remember that when you set out to do what God has called you to do, Satan is going to send his henchmen.  I have learned to let God fight those battles and not let it deter me from reaching the goal.

This week I am working with scoring, graphics and animation. Next week I will work with sound and editing. I will introduce you to some of the organizations and people who are working on this project in the next couple of weeks. I will feature them here in the blog. Like my actors and crew, a talented group of people allowing God to work through them.

The final product is going to be so much fun. My prayer is that you will feel God’s heartbeat through this project. He will speak to you in a way that you know it is Him.

Later, I will give you a timeline of when it will be possible to view the movie Family Tree.

Peace and Hair Grease
