Hello!
My name is David Hunter and I am the writer and director of the upcoming short film, THE MAN AND HIS GOD. Working with an experienced crew and talented actors, this film will force us to confront ourselves in a level we didn’t think we could. It’s a bold and exciting concept, but one that is essential for us to face.
The Story:
THE MAN AND HIS GOD follows our protagonist, The Man, and his crucial role within an organization that keeps the world running as scheduled —through any means necessary. The Man begins to have doubts about the all-seeing and all-knowing Headmaster, but perhaps he can turn to the church and the Priest for some different guidance. In a story of loyalty, faith, and trust, who can The Man turn to? More importantly, does he even have a choice in the matter? Is forgiveness enough or will good people suffer in an unexplained attempt to keep our world existing as it should?
Why This Story?
The central theme of this film is decisions and it's something in my own life that I think about a lot. Decisions move us forward, but in what direction? Towards the life we want ourselves to have or down a path dictated by others?
The Man has the option to make his own decision: is he going to continue his life of fear and blind allegiance or is he going to make a change and turn towards loyalty and forgiveness and a new chance to live life on his own terms?
This film is for EVERYONE. It will encourage us to gain a greater understanding and appreciation towards our faith, whether that be in God or in ourselves. We must choose things that help us be the best we can be, and avoid the decisions that pull us astray.
Inspirations:
Before Whiplash became an award winning sensation, it was a short film that Damien Chazelle made in hopes of creating the feature we all know and love. He made the important DECISION to take a chance on himself and share something he was passionate about.
Damon and Affleck made the DECISION to create Good Will Hunting after writing the script as a simple school project.
I am inspired by people taking a chance at doing something they are passionate about, and just like them, I am making the all important DECISION to go for it and share a unique story we can all relate to and be inspired by.
