Established in 2002, The Spotlight Media Productions works with film creators from around the world, who has strong connection in and around the Hollywood film arena.The group of filmmakers leverages their power and broad awareness to tell stories that appeal to a wide range of audiences. This time, it is Grigory Gerenstein's “The Ahasfer Game” that has entered their view.
“The Ahasfer Game,” tells the story that begins in Jerusalem where Jesus Christ is carrying his cross to Calvary where he is to be crucified. Jesus stops in front of the local shoemaker Ahasfer who is too preoccupied with his everyday concerns and oblivious of the momentous event he is witnessing. Ahasfer tells Jesus to get on with it as he hasn't got all day and needs to get back to his shop. When Jesus shows him his bleeding hands, Ahasfer responds with a phrase he's heard many times from his father and grandfather, “You should use your brains better, then your hands won't hurt so much.” Jesus is angry, pronouncing a condemnation: “You will stay alive and wander the world until I come back.”
“The Ahasfer Game” is serving with inflated imagination and low self-esteem which relates millions. Despite the difficulty and injustice of life, one must try to find one's way in life and stay positive.
