Password: Good&Faithful2021

Inspired by the words of Matthew 25:23 and in memory of Savannah Stephens, "Good & Faithful" follows the final journey of a young soul on her way to meet Jesus Christ.

Samantha, age 18, is met by Eli, a traveler, in a strange yet familiar environment. Eli leads her in preparation to see Him, and teaches her about how she was led her here. Realizing that she’s dying, Samantha runs away, but is stops when she flatlines, signifying her death. With no other choice, Samantha returns to Eli and begins her final journey that ends with the words, “Well done, Good and Faithful servant.”
