Overview

"The Sheol Express" follows Owen Turner, a traveler searching for truth in the fantasy world of Sheol. He boards The Sheol Express, a train bound for the End of the Line - the final resting place for travelers weary of wandering Sheol's wastelands. Once aboard, Owen must decide where he will disembark: at the guaranteed End of the Line, or at Araboth, a place of hope and promise he's heard of only in whispers. The film speaks to our universal desire for truth, exploring our ongoing struggle to discern fact from fiction, and ultimately examines the strength of spirit necessary to make a decision regardless of others' opinions. So far, "The Sheol Express" has been shot and edited, but we still must raise money to finish, screen, and distribute the film. By funding this project, you will enable us to complete post-production and submit the end product to a variety of film festivals, bringing its message of hope to people around the country.
