️ A Message from the Shadows
There was a night when I dreamed of fire carved into stone.
A figure stood in a cave — not a demon, not a man, but something ancient… something divine. He did not speak with words, but with a presence that made silence feel louder than thunder.
That vision became EVOKE — a prophetic horror film born not from fear, but from truth.
What Is EVOKE?
EVOKE is the story of Heyoka, a sacred being drawn from Indigenous legend. He returns not to kill, but to reveal — to mirror the flaws of our world and force us to face ourselves.
This isn’t just a horror story. It’s a cinematic prophecy — a parable for modern times told through sacred symbolism, atmosphere, and divine judgment.
Why I Need Your Help
Right now, I’m raising $3,000–$3,500 to complete the official teaser for EVOKE — a 3-minute visual ritual that introduces the tone, spirit, and sacred weight of the full story.
Your donation will help us cover:
Visual effects (glowing symbols, divine portals)
Custom props (the Book of Balance, sacred jewels, ritual altar)
Sound design + scoring
Costumes, makeup, and post-production

This is a message written in symbols and silence. This is cinema as spiritual fire. And I believe the right people are meant to find it — and help it rise.
