When Mark-Brian Sonna's "The Soul Gatherer -- A Mystical Play" premiered onstage in 2010, critics called it fascinating, disturbing and intense.

In an isolated estate on a stormy night, a girl's emergence from a years-long, persistent catatonic state coincides with the arrival of a mysterious stranger who seems to know everyone's deepest secrets. Is he an angel, a con artist, or a mass hallucination?

This is a complex and beguiling work that embraces the spirit of Independent Film and promises to be a unique experience for movie lovers seeking a sophisticated film with a powerful emotional impact.

 Who We Are

The director, Benjamin L. Ward, will be making his feature film debut. He has previously directed short films, including the thriller “Chat”, which has been an official selection at three film festivals.

As an actor, writer, director and producer, Mark-Brian Sonna, in addition to writing “The Soul Gatherer” and originating the part of Mark, is an established presence in Dallas theater with MBS Productions (http://mbsproductions.net), which presents a full slate of plays each season.

We have an incredibly talented cast assembled. Reprising their roles from the original 2010 stage production are John Victor Allen, Richard Rollins and Mark-Brian Sonna, and from the 2011 reprisal, Griselle Cambioso. Joining them are Bethany Watson, Ashley Oringderff and Roger Schwermer.

 How You Can Help

By donating to our fund, you can help us raise funds to turn this startling and provocative work into a motion picture experience that will challenge and intrigue audiences all over.

We are currently finishing story-boards and designing the set, to be built in rented warehouse space in the Dallas area during the month of August. Your contribution will help us build the set and purchase the rest of the equipment we need.

The Perks

In return for your support, we want to share the creative experience with you with our special donors' perks, including access to our online blog which, during shooting in September, will provide a window into various aspects of the film making experience with cast and crew interviews and behind-the-scenes photos and videos.

You also have an opportunity to come to a private screening for cast and crew, and a special after party to meet everybody.

For our most generous donors, you can receive some unique souvenirs from the production, a visit to the set or even executive producer's credit.

 Other Ways You Can Contribute

If you would like to donate your time or talents to creating or producing this film, let us know how you would like to be involved. Those that are interested in building sets, helping haul equipment, etc., we would love to hear from you.
