Soul Intentions
Synopsis
A café. A Hollywood producer. His actress girlfriend. His script. Then comes... the script doctor.
In Soul Intentions, writer and director Kerry Parker takes a spiritual look into the sordid world of Hollywood. Blending Hitchock's subtlety and suspense with the wit of Rod Serling and the ominous quality of David Lynch, SOUL INTENTIONS has viewers take a close look at their own lives and the impact their actions can have on others. Through the moralistic lessons of Aesop's Fables, what appears on screen becomes a mirror to us all.
Soul Intentions is a masterful blend of artistic performances and brilliance, creating visual suspense on a thrilling journey through truth, integrity, compassion, and the power of intention.

Note From Kerry
My life experiences have led me towards the interest of two worlds; the world around me and the world inside of me. I have found that both seem to have a set of rules, some kind of causality, or cause and effect if you will. It has taken me most of my life to figure this out, and to tell the truth, I still have a difficult time getting a handle on what these rules are.
As I gain more wisdom, the questions and answers that I find continue to change my life. The simple question: if doing good means good comes back to us,and doing bad means bad comes back to us, then why do bad things happen to good people? And, why do bad people often seem to have very good lives?How can these things happen in a just world? And what about intention... the thought behind the actions?
In making SOUL INTENTIONS, I wanted to show the power of intent. The big question is this: How do our personal actions and intentions come back to effect us? I love the actors in this film. As a first-time filmmaker, I could not have asked for a better cast. They were professional, prepared and a true pleasure to work with. The actors were willing to let me take chances as a director and they were willing to take chances if I asked it of them as actors.
I love the characters I created but they came alive and became more complete as the actors breathed life into them. From Sarah McElligott’s portrayal of Lula Mae Moss, the hopeful Hollywood starlet, to Keith Sellon-Wright’s portrayal of Hollywood Sugar Daddy, Chase Askins’, to Kevin Rooney’s script doctor, Alex Justice, and finally to the seemingly unimportant waitress played by Lena Bouton.
Though it is the cast’s portrayal of real life ‘cause and effects’ of a day in the life Hollywood, there’s an underlying theme in the film that I hope translate on screen – the fact that we all belong to Karma. For everything we think, say or do, somewhere, someone is affected by it... and it will always come back to us.
In this spirit, I think SOUL INTENTIONS has an opportunity to remind us all of what we innately already know so well: none of us is immune to the laws of the universe.
