When times are darkest, a hero is born.
In Asherah’s Colors, Asherah’s destiny is to usher in a new humanity. She heard her calling first as an orphan child. Everywhere she went, it was there. In dreams, in words, and synchronicities for her eyes only. A fate that she denies because of the significance of it. Her purpose is to prepare and be a part of creating and protecting a new world.
Asherah is woven into the fabric of nature. Her spirit has been with us since the birth of creation. She is feminine divine with valor, chivalry and humor.
The mythology of the Asherah story follows her from the age of 12 until she reaches her destiny at 28. The screenplay was written in the format of a TV series titled: Asherah: A Love Odyssey. Her story is the keeper of the source code and uses loving relationships as a conduit for emotional engagement and the introduction and development of her noble purpose on earth.
My approach in writing the storyline of Asherah was to take a mythological story and tell it in the ways of the ancients, multilayered and rich in metaphors. Yet within the context of a contemporary style and thought. Welcome to The World of Asherah!
Asherah’s Colors II
Asherah’s Colors II is a narrative short film written to introduce our main protagonist, Asherah. At eighteen, we jump into her energy, a sassy, spirited young woman—no need for a backstory. I will address that in later episodes. She’s out on a first date with Raphael, an exchange student from Italy. Raphael has no car or money and begs Asherah for their first date. Their night out surpasses her expectations, and Raphael’s dreams will live forever.
This short was written and filmed as a proof of concept of the Asherah storyline. I initially aim to present it to interested investors and for eventual entry into domestic and international film festivals. But Asherah’s Colors II screenplay has gained popularity with being the official selection and winning awards in noted screenplay contests. I have decided to turn it into a stand-alone feature and write Acts One and Two with the short serving as Act Three.
I think my favorite thing about this story is that it’s such an expression of almost a childlike joy which we don’t see very often in film. I think that works to help the story stand out in terms of voice, along with the deeper, more thematic material.
