Reluctantly, here is the story idea I wrote...
In class a few weeks ago, we each had to write up a concept for a movie that would depict the conflict between Christianity and culture; living in the world but not of it, etc, etc.
I still think mine is a little lame; my husband could write one better, but our prof said one of our assignments was to write our concepts on our blogs, so here it is... (With thanks to Jane for the character names)
The setting is modern-day in Vancouver, aka. Hollywood North. Gregory and Fiona are an average couple in their late 20's who consider themselves Christian, and attend a church most Sundays, but with a bit of emothional detatchment. They pretty much are good people who live their lives with a Sunday-only connection to their church. During the week they both work in the movie business, Gregory as a writer, and Fiona as an actress.
One day, they are out for a walk in the woods, and when they walk through the trees they find that they are in a different city entirely. As they walk further they discover they have gone back in time to the late 1960's, and later they discover they're in California. After not long, they realize they'll probably be there for a while, so they get some jobs in the field they are used to, theatre and movies. They also decide to find a church to try to stay connected to other Christians.
All goes well for a couple months, until the people at church find out that they are part of the secular arts scene, and pretty much shun them whenever they come to church.
Their occupations were never an issue in 2006, so they never thought it was a threat, like those around them now do. Their faith was also never an issue at their work, but with the recent pain of being hurt by those at church, Gregory and Fiona decide to hide their Christian beliefs from their co-workers, but at the risk of their integrity...
