World Premiere

“As a filmmaker, I believe in story. If by wonder, blood, chance, or commitment a tale moves me, I feel compelled to capture it. Great stories are not accidents; they bring aspects of the real into fierce focus. In this way they are truth.” - Director/Co-producer/Co-writer/Editor Greg Morgan

We are proud to present the World Premiere of Greg Morgan's “The Substance of Things Hoped For.” Morgan's film is an expertly acted and filmed, intelligently conceived, philosophically provocative, and deeply affecting spiritual speculative fiction—don't miss it.

After the death of her two closest friends, young Daphne Lessing suffers a loss of faith, then a lapse in memory. Confronted with a diagnosis of a rare form of schizophrenia and a pregnancy she neither planned nor is able to explain, Daphne is forced into a terrible choice: lose her child or lose her mind. She must find the father she has never known (the always-great Ray Wise from Twin Peaks) and deduce his sanity or insanity by studying his abandoned research in dolphin linguistics—but time is running out.

What if you were so good that God wanted to take you almost as soon as you were born, or so bad that God decided to give you a long life? Suppose you found a third option?
