A new superhero in town amongst the Avengers
A SUPERHERO YOU HAVE TO SEE WITH YOUR HEART — STRIKES!
"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seethe, why doth he yet hope for?" the Good Book stated.
Celluloid isn't your average superhero that the world of the 1950s wants to put a face to; but they have to see him with their heart through the letters that he drops in the victim's pockets who he saves, making him just your supernaturally normal yet normally supernatural unseen film projectionist, Joel Flickstein.
Once upon a time, during the 1950s, there was a second-run movie theatre called the 4-Star Theater located on Clement Street, now an iconic location for the film industry that has been part of San Francisco' s diverse movie culture for many generations, particularly known for also showing Asian and art films that's right smack in the Inner Richmond neighborhood.
That was one of the oldest working theaters in town, that had this fetish for boasting in an apparition of a celestial being that hauntingly lingers in the atmosphere.
Originally, it was a church owned the building agreed in mediation to sell the property to the owners of the 4-Star owners, but they had 150 days to assemble the financing for the $1.45 million purchase price to keep it from being torn down due to all the adverse publicity & politics, so they bit the bullet & sold it, to the Lees — the 4-Star owners, who had enlisted the help of the San Francisco Neighborhood Theater Foundation to save the building of the church. Where an immortal’s son’s spirit make His presence sensed and often heard in the theatre.
Every day signs, wonders and miracles happen by the spirit, who finds moviegoers deemed to be social misfits.
One day of each month, the misfit would encounter this apparition of the celestial being. Because of that, the misfit would transfigure into a superhero.
Because of that, a band of heroes called The Movie-Journeyers’ would be raised up to united against the forces of darkness that would influence crime in the town.
Until finally a deadly virus threatens to bring down the movie theatre by foreclosure, and keep them from their access to a portal to make movie jumps into a filmic Utopia.
Will this be the last movie on the silver screen? Will the heroes get locked out of the filmic Utopia?
Can the 4-Star Theatre save itself and help others redefine the moviegoing experience in the midst of foreclosure due to the virus?
Stay devoted to find out!
