PROJECT SYNOPSIS:
"Among the Ika and Kogi tribes of Columbia, Priests are chosen at birth. They are taken high into the mountains where they live a nocturnal life. Completely shut away from the sun. After 18 years the child is lead outside. Until that moment the world has existed as only a thought. For the first time, he sees the world as it is." - Wade Davis, One River
Our story spins off of this fact...
Having spent the past 17 years in the same room, being taught by only one person, every day has been identical to the last for our character.
But when he starts having dreams of running through an open field, he questions what he’s been taught, challenges tradition, and fights for his freedom to experience the world for the first time, for himself.
ROLE:
ELDER PRIEST:
Supporting / Male Hispanic/Latino / Spanish Speaker / 40 - 80 years
Description: This man is the elder priest of the Kogi tribe that resides deep in the mountains of Columbia. He teaches to young priest everything so that one day he can take his place.
