Othersight: The Movie

Othersight is an independently made movie about four young people with the ability to hear and see reality more accurately then anyone else. One hears what you mean, not what you say, another senses the state of your soul, one hears the natural order, and another sees the spirit realm.

People have been disappearing around their hometown, but law enforcement doesn't recognize that anyone is gone. When they investigate they quickly find themselves hunted by assassins. Someone powerful doesn't want them to find the truth. As they near their goal they find themselves in a very real, very personal battle that extends beyond the physical realm into that of the spirit. A choice must be made, will they deny the truth and run; or face it, and death. Either way, the world will never be the same.

Production company: Brightsword Productions Co.

Filming starts June 6, 2011

Right now we are in the process of casting. So far we have two of our main characters, one unnamed character, and several stuntmen and extras.

  

Characters:

1. Ian: Leader of the Othersight team whose members include Anna, Akerra, and Jack. Ian brought them all together and made them what they are. Insight is his primary strength, though he can hold his own in a fight. The burden of leading his team into harm's way constantly weighs on him, but he continues with a grim determination knowing that they must succeed. As they near their goal he receives the gift of seeing the spiritual realm, giving them the ability to take on the real enemy.

2. Akerra: Teenage daughter of Vern Atkins. Part of the team due to her ability to see the state of another's soul. She is highly empathic, and unwilling to do lethal harm to others. Overwhelmed in the past by the darkness in individuals, she also knows when to take risks with them, knowing where their strengths and weaknesses lay. Though the weakest physically, years of living under the weight of others' pain has made her mind and heart strong.

3. Anna: In many ways the most normal seeming of them all. She has the gift of hearing the voice of all creation. When the morning stars sang at creation, or the earth groans in agony, she hears it, giving her advance warning when something is about to happen. This makes her an excellent and almost invisible tracker. Consequently, she spends much of her time outdoors, is very athletic, and a skilled archer.

4. Jack: He probably has it the hardest, at least at first, of all the Othersight team members. Jack hears what a person means when they say something, not what they say. When you first meet him, he is in a mental institute because no one could handle or understand him. His experiences have hardened him into a fighter, but now he is also Ian's right hand man. Since Ian was the first to figure out Jack's “problem,” the two share a special relationship. Ian fronts for Jack to the world, and Jack gives Ian the inside track on what people are really thinking.
