The Master Plan
[TheMasterPlanFilm.com] A suburban community and a state of mind, The Master Plan explores evangelical Christian youth culture in America.
Inspired by the icons and modern myths of youth group pop-culture, we find KRISTI, a high-school senior with seemingly supernatural powers, mystical dreams, and an affinity for existential detective films.
Kristi's social circles extend beyond church activities, so her fundamentalist parents demand that she 'witness' her evangelical faith to her non-religious peers. At first, she backs out, deciding instead to try to convert her estranged Grandfather, a scientist. Failing miserably, she seeks the advice of youth counselor APRIL.
Newly motivated, she unloads April's more calculated plan on her teen friends, and they abandon her. Kristi's Grandfather immediately dies under odd circumstances which are hidden from her by her parents, and in a bizarre state of grief, Kristi becomes possessed by the doomed detectives she so admires, beginning a Quixote-like quest to find her Grandfather's killer.
The Master Plan features Sarah Mahoney, Heidi Van Horne, Virginia Wilcox, Nicole Mosbacher and Sabin Rich.
Critic Greg Wright called The Master Plan "One of the most visually arresting Indie films you will ever see...", and "An honest, balanced, and compassionate look at the struggles of Evangelical teens that achieves much more than you'd expect."
Award Winner - Columbus International Film Festival.
