The Concept and Reasoning Behind the Show

"Phyre."

Hey, it's the director here again. I thought I'd give you guys  more official glimps at the ideas we have behind the show Phyre Rusty Jazz.

The series is named after the three female lead assassins "Phyre Rusty Jazz," and has a lot of its themes and messages grounded in the book of Ecclesiastes. The three lead characters, slowly realize the emptiness of their lives without God when Phyre runs into her old childhood friend, Steve, who has since started working for the church. The series will touch on the subjects of death (of course), violence, homosexuality, prostitution, political corruption, and organized crime from the point of view of those who don't know the truth found within Christ, but are desperately seeking something to justify their existence.

Mid-way through the series the characters realize that "everything is meaningless" when left to their own devices. This is when the characters reach their lowest point and are forced to re-analyze their belief system.

I chose to tell the story from the perspective of non-Christian killers for two reasons:

1) non-Christian killers are a huge attraction to the non-Christian demographic, thus ensuring that our introductory presentation of Salvation doesn't reach ears that are already saved as a main demographic.

2) Christian films marketed to Churches to brightly color aspect of Scripture and church life without giving proper context because the filmmaker assume that the viewers already know where these message are coming from and the proper mind-set of those who go to church. non-Christian people, on the other hand, do not. They see the church and those who make it up as hateful, argumentative, and hypocritical bigots, and many times rightfully so, as their church experience may not have been the proper portrayal of Christ's love for them. By not making this a film "by Christians for Christians," but rather "by Christians for non-Christians," we allow ourselves as preachers and story-tellers to put the bigoted aspects of church life that the non-Christian are so familiar with in the proper lights, denouncing it as something Scripture would applaud, so that we can clear a path to a possibly more opened mind from the viewers when the accurate portrayal of Christianity and Salvation is presented.
