SUBCONSCIOUS
In a dramatic showcase, this film takes the viewer on a journey into the mind of an unnamed individual. The individual remains unnamed throughout the film as he is a representation of both you and me.
The greatest battles takes place in our minds. It is a war zone second to none. Daily we have to contend with the voices in our heads; negative thoughts encouraged by the Devil and the still/quiet voice of the Holy Spirit prodding us on. Here, we see a man held captive in his thoughts, burdened by his mistakes and plagued by the voice of the enemy. It shows the power that the Holy Spirit gives us through His presence in our hearts and mind so that we are able to overcome and free ourselves from wiles of the enemy. The film brings that common mental battle to life for the viewers.
As long as we walk this earth, we will encounter physical, spiritual and mental battles. The scripture found in Ephesians justly reminds of this of this surety in life. Sure as the sun will shine, the flesh and the spirit are constantly at war. We daily hear the whisperings of the devil encouraging us to do sin and the still voice of the Holy Spirit guiding us in the right path and in God's will. The film zooms in on a common mental battle and presents to us the remedy for overcoming the captivity of sin. It directly references the scripture in the quest to paint a vivid picture of a warfare taking place in the mind. Oftentimes we believe that the wiles of the enemy are manifested physically around us; an untimely accident, a man's scheme take our lives. Yes, these may all be his doings but he often goes for the mind. The mind is the birthplace of faith, wisdom and decisions, therefore, it's the enemy's biggest target. That battle is not easily won, however, when we listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit, He guides us into mental liberation. It takes strength, and not fleshly strength, but strength in the Lord. The film uses this anonymous man to bring the scriptures to life.

SUBCONSCIOUS - Script
Scene One
FADE UP
[Shots of the ocean]
NARRATOR
We live in a world of duality. Night, Day. Good, Evil. Life is much more than meets the eye. We get so consumed by what we can see.
[ MAN walking on beach]
NARRATOR
We forget the importance of what we can’t see. Often times what we can’t see brings the biggest burdens. Here we see a man.
[MAN continues walking, hands in pocket, head down as if thinking]
NARRATOR
He could be you, he could me. An ordinary man, well so he seems.
[MAN takes up stones and throws them in the ocean.]
NARRATOR
Looking from the outside, you would never see his agony, his pain. We all struggle, we have our fights. Physically, mentally and spiritually. Our struggles may be different but our enemy is the same. Here we see a man. A christian man. A God-fearing man.
[MAN holds head]
NARRATOR
But a man nonetheless.
MAN’S MIND
Ahhh! They all hate me! They all hate me!
[MAN drops to his knees]
MAN’S MIND
Nobody cares. What kind of a Christian am I? I give up.
Scene Two
Transition Into the mind
[MAN’s inner being is seen in despair, panting and in chains. Adversary chuckles]
ADVERSARY
You worthless piece of filth.
[MAN struggles with handcuffs]
ADVERSARY
Never thought you’d be back here did you. Imagine, all those days spent at church and for what? Nothing. You should just give up. Why are you still fighting? You have nothing to live for. Take my advice. Kill yourself. God wants nothing to do with you.
ADVOCATE
Why are you allowing the devil to get to you again. All he’s saying is a lie.
[ADVOCATE wipes MAN’s tears]
ADVOCATE
You shall not die but live and declare the works of the Lord. No weapon formed against you shall prosper. So get up. Be strong in Lord that you may be able to withstand the wiles of the enemy.
ADVERSARY
God doesn’t love you!
ADVOCATE
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son.
ADVERSARY
You have no purpose!
ADVOCATE
For I know the plans I have for you saith the Lord, Plans to prosper you, plans to give you hope and a future. So put on the whole armor of God!
[MAN’s handcuffs fall off.]
Scene Three
Transition Out of the mind
[MAN opens eyes]
NARRATOR
Wherefore take unto you the whole Armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
[MAN stands up]
NARRATOR
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
