Story

Guy wakes up in a waiting room

Starts shouting for someone to come tell him whats going on

Demon runs in

Guy asks him whats happening

Demon grabs him, tells him to follow, runs out 

 

Quickly, in here, no time to explain

They go through a door

 

End up in the middle of a field

“Where are we?”

“Whats your name”

“Dave”

“Well dave theres no easy way to say this but you died and youre in hell” (without emotion)

“Oh my god”

“Thats not,, ok fine. But we really have bigger issues to worry about”

“We should walk while i explain, i need to look for an exit”

Demon explains how theyve entered a personal hell, and locked them in

“Why did you need my hand for that door anyway”

Explains how hes on the run from hell and needed him to open the door to the personal hell

Hes fresh meat so he hadnt had his sould bonded to anything yet

“Wait, so my soul is now bound to that door??”

“Yeah sorry about that. Anyway, we might be here a while so”

 

Possible story changes

I could switch hell for heaven, make the demon into lucifer, this is before hes fallen and still technically an angel. He is on the run from heaven’s angels and locks them in a garden  

 

I could also have the man wake up in his personal hell, but the demonic influence is stopping it from torturing him- which would explain why the entire thing is in a college

 

Lore

Personal hells are soul doors found in hell, created when a fresh soul enters hell

. 

Fresh souls are the souls of beings that have not been bound to a plane. While alive, souls are bound to Earth, but after death souls are “fresh” and can be bound to a new plane. In the afterlife, souls are bound through soul doors. 

 

Soul doors are natural constructs that bond with fresh souls, and guarantee residence in a certain plane. In hell, soul doors manifest as personal hells, and every fresh soul must bond with a personal hell upon entering hell.

 

In heaven, the pearly gates act as the one soul door, which all entering must touch before becoming a permanent resident of heaven. 

 

In purgatory, souls are unbound- allowing them to enter any soul door, but never claim one for themselves. Bound souls entering purgatory are unbound unless their soul is under devine or demonic influence. Souls unbound by purgatory will remain unbound. Permanently unbound souls are not considered fresh.

 

Most rules in heaven and hell can be broken via the use of Demonic or Devine acts. Both are considerably more effective in their respective planes.

​

This lore can be explained by the demon during the production, confusing the audience and the character he's talking to

Mood board

These images i feel represent the aesthetic that i would ideally like to produce in the product. They depict scenic yet simple parks and fields, which i believe would amplify the introspective message of the film
