Boo Junfeng’s ‘Trinity’ Seeks Final Funding at Tokyo Market
Boo Junfeng’s film ‘Trinity’ follows Johnny, a Taiwanese pastor with a large following at a Singapore megachurch.
Known for conservative views, Johnny also stages elaborate acrobatic shows for his congregation.
He becomes fixated on Yang, a newcomer to his training program, and his special treatment of the young man strains relationships with his wife, Ruth, and disciple David.
When Yang disappears, Johnny investigates, and clues lead toward people in the church’s inner circle, with tragic results.
The story later follows Johnny and Ruth after they move to rural Taiwan and keep a low profile.
The film explores sexuality and faith through characters in a church, a subject its producer says is seldom seen in Asian films.
‘Trinity’ is in post-production, and its team is seeking final funding at the Tokyo Gap-Financing Market before completing the film.

What people are saying
I’ve always been very interested in the subject of sexuality and faith, and I wanted to make a film that dives deep into the psyche of these characters within a church
I hope people will empathize with the characters, despite them being flawed human beings
Personally, I have had people close to me convert to Christianity due to Evangelism, but this is seldom seen in Asian films
