The Faith Trilogy: Possession, Masquerade, Redemption

Three “Vampire” movies which follow the life, death, and redemption of an immortal child of the Biblical and Apocryphal figures of Cain and Lilith: Rachel Fe Lithe. Beginning in the City of Enoch, and running throughout the major events of Human History, the story is told in the second person, of a young disillusioned Priest who has a chance encounter with the aged and antediluvian character of Rachel.

The young Priest has seen such wickedness and evil on the Earth in the later days that he, like Jonah and Job, simply wishes for death. Rachel is keen to grant him his foolish wish, but providence has other designs for them both. An unlikely, but eternally destined, romance develops which neither of them ever expected and which all circumstances would deem impossible.

From this setting, the great conflict between good and evil, and the ultimate triumph of grace and true repentance is explored; revealing that no matter how long it may take, no matter what you think you have done, those whom God has chosen cannot be denied.

Using the classic 25% - 75% flashback methodology, the film will explore the tragic ends of those who fail to seize the opportunities given them, and marvel at the patience and long suffering of the Lord, bringing to the stunning conclusion in the third film of that the wages of sin are indeed death, but that death takes many forms.

The first film: Possession, will focus on the classic vampire genre and be easily relatable to the modern audience setting the stage for the sequels. In the first film, the two main characters will be introduced and the plot of the story outlined: Can a lost man find faith in the most unlikely of places and what price will he pay for his doubts? It will cost him his soul if he is wrong and his life if he is right. How can he make such a choice?

The second film: Masquerade, will shift the focus from the point of view of the Priest to the tragedy and sins of the main character, Rachel, and reveal more of a 50/50 historical flashback, and bring about the gradual recognition that she may not be as lost or as far from truth as she for so long has believed. The title coming from the truth that there are none so blind as those who will not see, and that the greatest lie the devil has told is not that he doesn’t exist, but that our sin is too great and we cannot be saved.

The third and final film: Redemption, is the accumulation of and reject of this great lie! It is never too late, but the longer you wait, the further you slide, the greater the ultimate cost. Of course, the vampire genre is only the ruse to tell once again, the greatest love story ever told. No matter how high of the price the world demands, no matter the burden of sin, or the accusations of the Devil, Christ Himself paid that price and more, if you only have faith!
