Pastor's Daredevil Stunts Hide Dark Obsession
28 Oct
Summary
- A celebrity preacher hides his obsession with a young follower.
- The film is structured in three chapters like the Holy Trinity.
- The project is a multi-country co-production seeking final funding.
The upcoming film "Trinity," by director Boo Junfeng, explores the complex psyche of a charismatic Taiwanese preacher based in Singapore. Structured into three chapters mirroring the Holy Trinity, the narrative follows Johnny, a pastor renowned for elaborate, Cirque du Soleil-style acrobatic performances for his megachurch congregation. Beneath his conservative public persona, Johnny harbors a secret, growing infatuation with Yang, a young man in his training program.
This preferential treatment creates unease among Johnny's inner circle, including his wife Ruth and leading disciple David. When Yang mysteriously disappears, Johnny launches an urgent investigation that points towards his close associates, leading to devastating outcomes. The couple eventually relocates to rural Taiwan, seeking anonymity.
"Trinity" is currently in post-production and is seeking a final gap in financing at the Tokyo Gap-Financing Market. The project is a significant co-production involving 11 countries, including Taiwan, France, Singapore, and Japan. Director Boo Junfeng, known for "Sandcastle" and "Apprentice," aims to create a film that fosters empathy for deeply flawed characters navigating faith and sexuality.
