Rejected Documentaries: Love in the Coven
One of the perks of working for a producer is that they're always looking for new ideas. Unfortunately, it turns out that all ideas are shit except for theirs. While I'm working on a project Tim usually bounces his ideas off of me and I give him my opinion. Sometimes, if I feel bold, I pitch him one of my ideas, to see what he thinks. Since he was going to meet with some broadcasters with WTN (the Woman's Television Network), I thought that I'd pitch him something that would fit on their station. He rejected my idea.

Love in the Coven

Follow Christina Fabry as she tries the impossible, an immaculate conception. Raised Catholic, but turning her faith during university, Fabry travels across the country with her white wiccan coven going to haunted house to haunted house. At these haunted houses she performs a ritual in which the souls bound to earth attempt to impregnate her. Many dismiss this as hokum, but Fabry, now pregnant claims that she's done the impossible and is ready for a virgin birth.

In this documentary we focus on the female yin yang of sexuality: the madonna and the whore and a woman's attempt to unite the two in a new and thrilling way. What happens when a woman does the seemingly impossible? Do we live in a world where miracles are discarded like most of our waste? Love in the Coven will strive to answer these questions and show the viewer with an astounding truth so profound that they too will be changed like Christina Fabry.
