Our CSUN production has a goal of raising $20,000 to recreate a dark, cyber-punk sci-fi pilot set in East LA at a time when sex-worker robots are legal, AI personalities outnumber the human population, and Catholicism is tightly held by a decreasing niche of followers.

LOGLINE:

A celibate Catholic priest and a brutal tech CEO, once former lovers, both find themselves on opposite sides of a religiously Fundamentalist rebellion against ungodly technology—a rebellion they both created.

In our pilot, our Catholic priest and main character, Diego Orozco, is leading a rehabilitation group of criminals with a charismatic religious AI at the helm. When it requests of its loyal followers that it be given a body, it asks for the body of a sex-worker robot cloned after its original inventor—the brutal tech CEO Angela Espinosa.

With the resources to create our proof-of-concept Pilot for The Prophet, we’d have a path to give the series a life of its own after our graduation this semester. Ultimately, we want The Prophet to be a series on Netflix, HBO Max, or Hulu. It’s a story we’ve never seen, with 1st and 2nd generation Hispanic immigrants at the helm of this harsh vision of the future.

No matter how big or small, our team would be extremely grateful for your donation! Please feel free to contact us with any questions at our production’s email [email redacted] - or follow our Instagram @TheProphetCSUN for more behind-the-scenes looks at our production! I
