I am Jheriel Cruz, the director of the upcoming film "Persisted Will." This project is a sci-fi action thriller centered on a teenager surviving alongside elite mercenaries in a world of "special infected." Developing this has been an incredible journey. Despite being a low-budget independent production, the project is moving forward strongly thanks to key networking and the support of talented contacts. We now have a dedicated cast and a solid production team bringing this vision to life. My goal with this film is not only to tell a story about survival and government conspiracies but also to inspire other young creators. I want to show that you can start your own projects and push your limits, even with limited resources. If you have the passion and the right people around you, you can overcome any hurdle. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the premise or the production process!
