Project Selection - My Decision

I have decided to pursue my film making abilities for this project. I have found a group of people that share similar ideas and passions while having their own unique skills that would combine into a great crew to work with. Besides that group I am working with, the main reason that I chose to make a movie is my love of movies. Growing up I have always preferred to watch movies over television, reading, and the most important in this case; magazine. While it would be a new experience the magazine project would not gain enough of my attention for me to give my full effort and I don't like to give anything below that threshold.
My group is thinking of making a psychological horror. The story would be based on a reporting doing an overt (the cult knows he is a reporter) observation on a new cult that has been gaining numbers in a small town. The reporter will soon realize that they were in over their head when he figures out what the true ideas of the cult are based in, the worship of a prophet that has a supernatural ability. The film is similar to the story of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. My group and I are still flushing out the specifics but we have agreed to work within this range.
I will focus on editing and other behind the scene jobs that the film needs. Gabe will most likely write and direct. Dan will most likely film the scenes. The roles within the film that we need to cast are: Reporter, Cultists (3 or 4), and The Prophet. Our group has some ideas of who will be cast, but we have not decided on any specific person for any of the roles.
