Heasley’s decision to tell an openly faith-promoting sci-fi film may be rare, but as a Latter-day Saint he is far from alone when it comes to a fascination with fictional world building — think Orson Scott Card, Brandon Sanderson and Stephenie Meyer.
A concept painting for the feature film "The Shift."Brock Heasley had few expectations when he submitted his 20-minute film, a gritty science fiction story about one man’s encounter with Satan, to the faith-based Angel Studios known for “Maybe, the Fresno, Calif.-based art director thought, someone would like it enough to put it on the streaming service, and he would make back the $500 he had spent on the passion project.
At the same time, he said, he rarely connected with faith-based media, which he described as often too intent on “trying to give comfort and easy answers.” The result is, in his view, an often “alienating” representation of life that “I don’t believe is real or reflective of people’s experiences.” Ken Carpenter, producer of the full-length film, agreed the crowdfunded project stands out among faith-related films, many of which he said were “derivative,” resembling one another.

“They tell me they’re excited for the kind of movie they can take their dad to or their son,” he said. “And that is all the reason in the world this film is needed.” Arondir stands guard in "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power." Heasley has a theory for this — one rooted in the way he believes faith fosters an ability to imagine a reality beyond the day to day.
