Shelter in place and quarantine have forced us to have to live with ourselves. It has made it so there is no running away from our lives. I have had to make serious realizations in the last months and accept several truths. It has taken me 10 weeks to realize that I've been running from the dark and uncomfortable forces in my life and how the armor of God has been right in front of me this entire time. These feelings and realizations took time and were difficult to process internally at first. It took me 10 weeks to look within myself and take a stand to change my life for the better through scripture and prayer. I wanted to portray this through Elissa Eileen Morris to show how universal these spiritual battles are. My goal was to tell a modern and cinematic story that shows the journey of being weighed down by our choices and finding the strength to take a stand with the armor of God. It is my purpose to create works that have lasting impact and I am proud to create a film that may show others they are not alone in their journey.
10 Weeks takes a subtle and cinematic approach at portraying how the devil's schemes can manifest in our daily lives and the bravery involved in taking a stand against them. The nature of the devil and his schemes is to present sin as pleasant and well-boding. This nature is symbolically synonymous with the imagery of a snake. The serpent in this film represents the devil's schemes highlighted in Ephesians 6:11 and how they quickly fill our lives with frustration, disarray, and emptiness in a way that is difficult to fully understand at first. It is a journey to take strength in the Lord and take your personal stand against the weights that bring us down. Scripture and prayer are our ways of understanding and therefore being able to put on the armor of God to combat the dark forces, both seen and unseen, in our lives. We are perpetually waging a war of right vs wrong and this film uses symbolism through a modern lens to emphasize the personal struggle of putting on the armor of God to win our on-going spiritual battles.
