Brandon, a young man pulled from nonexistence and thrust into sudden life on Earth, searching for purpose in a cold-blooded world of angels and demons.Thilial, an angelic commander torn between her duty to God and her new knowledge that demons can become moral even without His blessing.Marcus, a power-hungry demon preparing to plunge the spirit realms into chaos for the sake of his own bellicose ambitions.And Thorn, the demon who wanted to be good, making one final stand to bring peace to his world.Heroes fight to reveal long-hidden truths and villains compete to enslave all with lies as a war between spirits brews in the stormy skies above Atlanta in this epic conclusion to Thorn's story.

For his crime of trying to save the life of the human girl Mercedes, Thorn has been sentenced to massacre five more humans-a sentence he refuses to carry out because of his dawning sense of right and wrong.But avoiding his sentence won't be easy. If Thorn won't get the job done, Marcus-along with a squad of assassin demons-will be more than happy to complete the assignment for him. And they'll kill Thorn while they're at it.Thorn makes a run for it, pushing himself further than ever before while searching for evidence that will prove to demonkind that God has been manipulating them. Pursued by Thilial, an angel Thorn hurt deeply in the past, and Marcus, Thorn's longtime demonic adversary, Thorn will do anything to acquire the one prize that has always eluded him, but which now seems almost within reach: freedom.

This thesis presents an account of the making of 15 Minutes of Faye, a microbudget feature-length film created in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Fine Arts in Film and Digital Media at the University of Central Florida. It chronicles the motivation behind the creation of the film, the entire creation process, plans for its distribution, and reflections on lessons learned during the creation process. The film itself was designed to challenge its viewers with the gross self-absorption of its fame-seeking protagonist, in order to promote public discourse about Generation Y's sense of entitlement, which has been well-documented in academic literature. It is the author's hope that this document will promote awareness of the film's subject matter, and will also aid others seeking to create microbudget feature-length films.
