Planting Seeds

🎞️ Movie 12 min --
2015

Up and coming cinematographer, Fairuz, is filming her church's anniversary special when she gets a call. Leaving in the middle of her sister, Yasmina's, outrageous performance, Fairuz discovers the family friendly movie she was set to shoot is dropped for a horror slasher. She begs the producer, Marie, to let her film the scary movie (all while wrestling an angry Yasmina). She convinces the producer to pick up the church video she's filming tomorrow morning to see what she's made of. Eventually, Pastor James and Yasmina's husband, Robert, have to pull the squabbling girls off of each other. Pastor James threatens that if the girls do not reconcile, the church anniversary special will be canceled. Alone, Fairuz begs Yasmina to forgive her so she can film the special. After explaining to Yasmina what the new movie is about, Yasmina questions her sister's faith. Fairuz is doubtful of job opportunity and explains she must take whatever gig she can get. Yasmina encourages her to plant a seed of faith and trust that Christ will find work. When the Pastor finds them, Yasmina lies and says they made up. The next morning, Fairuz nervously gives her church video to Marie. A potted plant draws Fairuz's attention while Marie goes on about the gory scenes in the film. Marie gets a phone call and Fairuz steals the church video back from her when she isn't paying attention. Yasmina sees the whole incident from a distance. While Fairuz sets up the media for the morning service, Yasmina comments on her sister's talents. The Pastor overhears this and offers Fairuz the chance to film their church's mission trip to Mexico. Fairuz excitedly agrees and finally makes up with her sister.
