THE FILM

Our story, Reflections, is a uniquely formulated futuristic drama that challenges humanity to agree on what constitutes foundational facts.
In the era of the "War on Truth", could there be anything more consequential?
​
Our movie illuminates the shared origins of religion and opens a dialogue for a more inclusive form of spirituality in the 21st century. This paves the way to help humanity understand our commonalities are far greater than our differences and approach the planet's largest problems with unified solutions.
​
These topics have never been more relevant given human gene editing technology, "alternate facts" and the need for spirituality in the face of reduced relevance of traditional religious institutions.
​
The world needs so much right now but let us start with basic agreement of what constitutes truth...

THE TRUTH
REFLECTIONS
In the near future, Dr. Andrew Stevens, now in a mental ward, claims to be the Father, Son, born of an immaculate conception, which doctors Claude Frazier and Darius Reynolds acknowledge as the reason for his confinement.
As Andrew’s mother, Mary Anne, reveals a long-held secret, the story unfolds: Andrew’s father, Dr. Robert Stevens, had been involved in a secret NIH project to create a human clone, and to protect the project, Mary Anne was artificially inseminated to give birth to Andrew. Over time, Andrew becomes a renowned theologian and public figure, preaching a message of unity and peace, which sparks concern among religious extremists.
As the truth about his origins and his father's involvement in cloning emerges, Andrew’s life becomes increasingly dangerous, with the project’s secrecy at stake. After a viral sermon, the extremists, along with the NIH, work to control Andrew’s fate, framing him for a murder. With everything on the line, Andrew faces a final, life-altering choice that will determine his legacy and the future of the movement he inadvertently started.

Reflections presents a profound commentary on humanity’s current crossroads, highlighting the choices we face about our shared reality. It reflects on how we, as a global society, are at a pivotal moment, divided by differing beliefs, ideologies, and technologies.
Our narrative calls attention to the fundamental truth that, regardless of our differences, we all exist within the same interconnected world. Our story challenges us to reflect on whether we will continue to allow these divisions to drive us apart or choose a path of unity, cooperation, and mutual understanding.
It serves as a timely reminder that our collective future depends on embracing our common humanity and making conscious decisions to build a world founded on love, acceptance, and peace. The outcome of this choice will shape the legacy we leave for future generations.
