Synopsis
The Woman at the Well is the story of the Samaritan woman at the well, Gospel of John, chapter 4. The Samaritan woman has five boyfriends, and the fifth one is about to leave her too. Jesus asks her to give him some water to drink. She says that Jews are not supposed to ask Samaritans for water. Jesus says to her if she knew who was speaking to her, she would be the one asking him for the water; but she is skeptical and says, "You don't even have a bucket to draw water with."
Jesus answers her, "Whoever drinks of this water (indicating the well) will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I give will never thirst again."
The Samaritan woman says, "Give me of this water always, my Lord!"
Jesus goes on to reveal to her who he really is. He tells her everything about herself. She is amazed and begins to suspect that he might be the Messiah prophesied by the Scriptures. Then the disciples come back with the food they had gone to bring for him.
The woman goes to her village and tells everyone about Jesus. They come out and hear Jesus. They all believe in him.
Budget
Here is the break down of the budget:
1. Actors salaries. There are two actors in the lead, one to play Jesus and one to play the Samaritan woman. The other actors are minor roles. They are the 12 disciples and the Samaritan village people.
2. Location rental. There will be one location where the scene at the well takes place. Most of the movie will be shot on this location, and any additional scenes needed will be shot close by on the same property.
3. Costumes and props. The costumes will be rented, with a few modifications made to fit the scene. The props consist of the well's facade, the bucket and rope.
4. Travel and food expenses. This will be to cover five days of shooting: gas money, food and water for the actors.
5. Camera and sound equipment rental. This is includes all crew and production costs.
