THE SON OF MAN TV SERIES PROJECT, based on Part IV of The Urantia Book: The Life and Teachings of Jesus
IMPORTANCE:
Our world is in serious trouble. Our institutions are collapsing, while climate change, pandemics, devastating wars, and the rise of authoritarianism threaten our mortal existence. The answer to these problems lies within a spiritual paradigm shift that begins with an elevated understanding of who we are in relationship with God and toward one another, and why these relationships matter above anything else in time and eternity.
WHY NOW?
There will be a huge programming vacuum left when The Chosen series ends. The wide reception of The Chosen has well-prepared the public to accept a series that deviates considerably from the Bible and has whet the public appetite for more spiritually substantive content. From an artistically critical standpoint, The Chosen falls very short of industry standard quality. Imagine how welcome a truly well done series on the life and teaching of Jesus would be!
UNIQUE HOOK:
The portrayal of Jesus’ childhood and young adulthood, his family life, myriad travels, and disciple relationships, includes the biblical record’s missing years.

SERIES LOGLINE: By faith Jesus triumphs over temptation and disappointment, realizes his divinity, proclaims God our Father and all humankind our brothers. When religious rulers have him crucified he rises from the dead, appears to many then ascends, sending back his spirit to live in us, promising someday to return.
PILOT LOGLINE: When the rumor a new king is born reaches King Herod’s jealous ears, he orders the male babies of Bethlehem massacred, placing the life of infant Jesus in imminent peril.
18 episodes (two full seasons +) written. Series bible/pitch deck available.
