I Am a Witness

A man burdened by visions of divine encounters is thrust into a spiritual odyssey where the line between heaven and earth dissolves, and witnessing becomes the ultimate test of belief.

In a small Louisiana town in the 1980s, the story opens in a humble church parking lot under the bright morning sun. Children play, families gather, and a sense of serenity fills the air. But beneath this peace lies a divine stirring. The protagonist, WILLIE, begins experiencing visions that blur the line between the mortal and the celestial—a gift, or perhaps a burden, that will define his life. As the years unfold, Willie’s journey leads him to Pensacola, where faith collides with science through Dr. Yu, a neuroscientist exploring the depths of the human soul. Willie becomes the subject of his study, and their encounters reveal a profound truth: witnessing the divine is both transcendent and terrifying. In Section B: City of Angels, the story reaches its peak. A midst the towering lights and spiritual undercurrents of Jacksonville, Willie’s transformation into an earth-bound angel takes shape. His visions intensify, forcing him to confront his past, his pain, and the divine calling that demands ultimate sacrifice. The film culminates in a powerful sequence of revelation and rebirth. Willie embraces his destiny not as a victim of visions but as a messenger—a bridge between two worlds, carrying the truth of faith, hope, and redemption.
