The Story
SAINT PRAYER
“Saint Prayer” is a deeply moving spiritual drama about a family bound by love, faith, and the echoes of their past. As the years unfold, an accident emerges - one that will test the limits of belief and redemption in ways no prayer could foresee.
Santo's life is shattered through a domestic violence dispute. When given the opportunity he chooses a path that can lead to the ultimate sacrifice just to save his mothers soul.
This movie is heart warming story about a mother and a son who never met due to a domestic violence incident. Santo, a pacifist who learns who to pray and clean souls. His love for his mother is deep enough for him to risk his life just to save her soul. This story challenges the spiritual world with our present world and the question if souls are really at peace when they pass.
WHAT HAPPENS TO OUR SOUL
We all wonder what becomes of us after we die. Does the soul rise straight to heaven? Or must it first pass through a sacred journey, purified and tested before reaching its final home? These are the questions we can't truly answer- not until our own time comes. Saint Prayer takes that mystery and turns it into a story about second chances beyond the veil. Santo, caught between life and death, is given a rare opportunity to travel back in the past and attempt to rewrite his mothers spiritual destiny. What follows is a powerful journey, one that will lead him either to his final end or a new beginning. This film explores faith, redemption, and the unseen forces guiding us, offering a spiritual narrative that speaks to every human sol, regardless of belief.
TEAMWORK
We have put together an amazing team to execute this film. We hope to engage the community as their support is our driven source to our film's success. Our film encompasses energy and we hope to attract that from all areas from people to help build support and momentum.
We need you to be a part of our team.
Together we can build a beautiful working community to complete this film.
WHY THIS STORY?
This story was written as a fictional story but has truthful elements that many of us have encountered or heard of. When it comes to faith and spirituality we all have different views and beliefs. One thing is real, is that we all have to die. And what happens to us when we do? What happens to our soul? Can we still change our destiny even after we are gone?
This film challenges that thought and explores the possibility to change one's spiritual destiny.
WITH YOUR CONTRIBUTION
Your support and contribution is crucial to the development and completion of this project. As indie filmmakers we are faced with lack of financial resources to explore and create our art. With community effort we can expand our audiences and keep growing to complete this beautiful story to be able to share with the world. We will be able to commence the project and build momentum and support to complete it in its entirety. We will host various screenings to share the work we have completed so far in hopes to continue raising capital and interest to complete this film. We will be able to hire crew and get the necessary items we need to help us further along.
OUR GOAL
Although we need more than we are asking, we need to start somewhere. We are asking for $30,000 to star production. This will help us get contracts in place, engage SAG- Aftra union and get the insurance we need.
We will also strategize what scenes we can shoot first and keep the integrity of our continuity of the film.
Our stretch goal is $50,000 which would really catapult us to get closer towards completion of this film.
