KIRK DOUGLAS STARS IN “ILLUSION”
Asbury Chapel Spiritual Center to host Special Screening.
Hopewell, Ohio – The Asbury Chapel proudly announces a special screening of ILLUSION, starring Kirk Douglas in the performance of a lifetime.

Plot:
This award-winning feature tells the story of a once powerful but now old and ailing film producer, Donald Baines (played by Kirk Douglas) who finds himself in deep regret over rejecting his only child, an illegitimate son named Christopher. Master of the romantic pictures, Baines himself never married and was emotionally unable to claim the child born of an on-set affair. Now on his deathbed, he is troubled by thoughts of the son he never came forth to claim. The son, Christopher, is haunted by the knowledge that his father never wanted him. Now, surrounded by hospice staff, Baines seems ready to admit defeat. Realizing that the end is closer than he imagined, Baines is shown the Akashic Records of his life and is forced to choose between letting the scene end tragically or stepping forward to right past wrongs.

This excellant film was released last year (we think) in only one theater. It will not be released in theaters nationally. Asbury Chapel is the only place in central Ohio where it will be shown. See this film on the big screen with pop corn.

"ILLUSION grabs you by the heart in the very first frame and never lets go....Kirk Douglas gives the most touching and indelible performance of his career and co-star/director Michael Goorjian emerges as one of the most sensitive and visionary directors of his generation."
-- Stephen Simon, Producer/Director of films including Somewhere In Time, What Dreams May Come, Conversations with God. Co-founder www.spiritualcinemacircle.com

This powerful and uplifting film is the creation of Michael Goorjian (“Party of Five”) who, as writer/director/co-star of ILLUSION, literally bet the farm to make this film. After winning the First Place Feature and Audience Choice Awards at the 2005 Spiritual Cinema Festival-At-Sea he said: “I was, as they say in Poker, all in. I spent all of my money, that of my friends and family, and maxed our every credit card I could get my hands on to make this film.”

"One of the best films I've seen in years. When most films are devoid of soulful content, [ILLUSION] bursts off the screen with ideas and emotions that touch hearts and minds. Douglas' performance is staggering....The kind of film we've been yearning for."
-- Mark Vicente
, Director of What The Bleep Do We Know?
