"SafeHaven"

I changed some things up from my earlier intent, and though I am continuing for the same story, I redirecting some things a bit. I even gave it a title, I may come up with something better later on, but this is good for now.

Title of the Project: Safe Haven

n - If part of a country is declared a safe haven, people who need to escape from a dangerous situation such as a war can go there and be protected; A safe haven is a place, a situation, or an activity which provides people with an opportunity to escape from things that they find unpleasant or worrying; 

I want to take this idea of a safe haven and let the audience question what is a safe haven for themselves, at the same time considering what a is safe haven for the characters in this piece. Instead of it being a physical place of refuge, it's representing a thing or idea that the characters feels safe in where they feel comfort during this time of tension. 

Theme: Betrayal and Redemption

• Explanation of Theme: A reoccurring theme in Christianity in which the follower rejects, turns away or has a short coming with Christ, is brought to a low point because of their rebellion, in which they seek forgiveness and God forgives and restores.
• Central Goal of the Film: To show the importance in trusting and depending on God to supply your needs.

Short Synopsis of the Project:
This project is about a young woman who, in attempt to provide more for her family ends up doing more damage than good. The young woman, Carla Newman, playing the role of the mom comes home with fresh groceries which she received in exchange for receiving the mark of the beast. Before this moment, the family has been struggling to survive off of their backyard vegetable garden and chicken coop. The family, consists of a grandmother, and two children ages 15(boy) and 12(girl), are all deeply rooted in Biblical Christian teachings. They hold daily Bible studies in home and take pride on their family fellowships during supper time meals spent at the dinner table. The mom, Carla, who is usually a part of all these activities, has been spending more time looking at the conditions the family has been living in. She considers their run down home and the daily meals of a few vegetable and chicken they must divide amongst four and hopes to give her family more so they can live in abundance. The only way she can do this is by receiving the mark of the beast, which allows her to get a job, earn an income, and by the tools she needs to fix up her home and give her family something more, and better to eat. However, her plan goes sour once her mother, the grandmother, becomes weak and Carla is no longer home to spend the time she would like to take care of her mother.
