Our Story

Therefore.... 

Choose Your Path Of Destiny.  

Our first project, The Sacred Eternal is a short film and a pilot of a miniseries. The story is centered around the future event of an approaching, Eternal Kingdom.  A thousand years into the future, when God's Kingdom has been established here on Earth, many will be raised to life again.  Jonathan, who had no reason to believe, is brought back to life.  He is stunned by the actual existence of a Supreme Being.  Jonathan's wife Samantha must teach him the ultimate plan for humanity.  It is in this hope he will conquer his past and embrace an eternal life with her in His Kingdom.  Samantha gives her all in bringing Jonathan to the light of truth in hopes that together they will live forever.  

The Characters:

Jonathan Peterson -  Played by BENJAMIN KANES (The Other Guys, Transformers 2)  Jonathan tries to understand his resurrection and his wife's passion for the Eternal Kingdom.   

?Samantha Peterson -  Played by JENN GOTZON (Frost/Nixon, Doonby) She is torn between her new found faith and her commitment to her husband. She is committed in guiding Jonathan and teaching him the meaning of Eternal Life.??

Pastor Johnson -  Played by DAVID SHAVER (10 Seconds, The Job)  He is the pastor of the Church of God Samantha attends. He has a gentle heart and guides Samantha in teaching her husband about the Kingdom of God.??

Ezra Reginald -  Played by ALTORRO PRINCE BLACK (Second World II: Blood, Fire, Smoke / Missing Link)  He is Jonathan's colleague and friend. His immature and uncommitted lifestyle cost him his marriage.  

Virginia Evans - Played by LEAH CEVOLI (Robot Chicken, Dead and No Where)  As Samantha's sister, she is troubled by Jonathan's destructive feelings of guilt.  She attempts to help him let go of his pain.

***We were especially thrilled to be contacted by Jenn Gotzon through her agent when she heard of our project!  When we learned that the actress that played in Ron Howard's Academy Award nominated film "Frost/Nixon" wanted to be a part of our production, we were overwhelmed with joy and excitement!!!  We knew that Jenn along with Benjamin, David, and Altorro, would be well able to breathe life into our characters who are set in this overwhelmingly powerful event of the coming Kingdom of God!

The Impact

The impact this project will have on others is monumental!  We believe that everyone, big or small, is looking for meaning in their lives.  Everyone has questioned to themselves: "Who am I?", "Is there a God?", "What is the meaning of life?", "What is humanity's ultimate destiny?".  Because of that, we are producing a film that seeks to give answers to these BIG questions.   Whether you agree or disagree, it will ultimately drive audiences to want to research deeper to find the answers to life's biggest questions.

If we do not reach our goal, this amazing story will not go into production. We want to reassure audiences what's in store for humanity is greater than anything our imaginations can behold!  By supporting our production, we will be able to create this unique and powerful story.

What We Need & What You Get

We need $40,000 to make this all happen.  We need this funding to help pay for the equipment, the locations, transportation, wardrobe, make-up, our cast, our crew, postproduction, editing, color correction, audio mix, distribution costs, DVD duplications, merchandising expenses, film festival fees, and marketing.  By helping us in your contribution, you will officially be a part of our production and our creative family. 

We offer you many incentives: free digital downloads of the film and behind the scenes footage, DVD copies of the film, movie posters, T-shirts, Blu-ray copies, tickets to our premiers and after-parties and much more.  We want to make sure that you get first pickings in our finished product. 

We will deliver all incentives once the film is complete which we project to be in March of 2012.  We will keep all of our supporters updates and give you free access to exclusive behind the scenes footage.  

Other Ways You Can Help

There are other ways you can help us as well!  You can spread the word to everyone you know about what were doing here.  Spare no one!  You can share our links using IndieGogos share tools and post our videos on your Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Vimeo, and Youtube accounts.  Tell as many as you can so that together, we can reach our goal and spread this powerful story of love, eternal life, and an Eternal Kingdom. 

We are working with talented professionals in the industry with over 10 years experience.  Our actors have worked with big names in Hollywood over the years and are destined to play the roles that was chosen for them to play.  Our Director of Photography has 20+ years as a photographer and cinematographer and is well capable of painting our story with light.  Our composer that we have in mind has been writing music since he was a child.  We all know that he will be able to score music that will reach deep into our hearts.  I have learned to surround myself with talented individuals so that my creative direction will find it's fullest potential through their expertise.  

We are looking to start a movement!  This is more than just a film project to us.  This is a ministry.  This is something bigger than ourselves and we are hoping and praying that YOU will come along for the ride!  Thank you so much for your support and we look forward to showing you the fruits of our labor in the completion of The Sacred Eternal.

Thank you!

Sincerely,

Daniel C. Pickett (Writer/Director)
