THE TRINITY Synopsis
The Trinity is a supernatural thriller pilot following Trinity Sanderson, a dedicated pathologist whose life unravels after being terrified by unexplained visions of Joshua Leeds's victims. When Joshua, a powerful businessman, unleashes a new dimension of ruthlessness through mind control, he sets out to acquire all of Earth's energy resources. Though she doesn't understand why she has been chosen, Trinity must confront her fears and stop him—and though she doesn't realize it at first, she is not alone. Hidden forces and unexpected allies will emerge, each playing a vital role in her fight against him—before it's too late.
Directors Note
This film, The Trinity, has been in the works for over 10 years. Since I was a young boy, I was fascinated by the idea of how one could take over another's mind. This film, a work of fiction, is inspired by that childhood fascination. It also draws on some real-world geopolitical tensions tied to energy—conflicts over oil, gas, water, and fossil fuels that have spanned generations.
While entirely fictional, my faith in God was an inspiration as well, though it only subtly underlies the story. Rather, it is a creative reflection on how personal curiosity intersects with global forces. At the end of the day, if you need to ask one person to turn the lights on, that man is the most powerful person on Earth.
Fun Fact
The character Joshua Leeds in The Trinity is directly intertwined with the dark, entirely factual historical feud between Philadelphia publisher Titan Leeds and Benjamin Franklin—a real-life rivalry that birthed the mythical legend of the Jersey Devil.
In 1732, Franklin used his own almanac to launch a psychological hoax against Titan Leeds, predicting his death. Cursed by the public ruin, Titan Leeds ultimately died a few years later sparking the folklore birth of the Jersey Devil—a winged, hooved monster born as the cursed 13th child of Mother Leeds. The creature immediately escaped into the shadows, wreaking centuries of havoc across Leeds Point, Smithville, and the deep, unforgiving Pine Barrens of South Jersey, terrorizing locals and cementing a legacy of localized supernatural dread.
But the real betrayal went deeper than print. In The Trinity, Benjamin Franklin's famous "discovery" of electricity wasn't a scientific breakthrough; it was a stolen family secret. Franklin weaponized cosmic energy to build a nation and systematically destroy Titan Leeds. For Joshua, this historic theft isn't about a petty grudge. Seeing how Franklin used a single energy source to rewrite global history became Joshua's absolute blueprint. His ruthless quest to monopolize Earth's energy resources is his ultimate inspiration to scale that power globally, turning the modern electrical grid into the ultimate tool for absolute world dominion.
