TRANSITION - The Traumatic Lover
What happens when the person you hoped would become your love story becomes the lesson that teaches you how to let go?
Transition – The Traumatic Lover was born from a deeply personal place where love, loss, timing, and emotional resilience meet. Adapted from Crystal Sauls’ book The Transition, this short film explores the kind of relationships that never fully become relationships—and yet somehow leave a lasting mark on the heart.
Because sometimes the hardest heartbreak is the one that almost happened.
The story follows Cheymarie as she navigates the subtle heartbreak of an almost-relationship that begins during a season of family loss and spiritual reflection. Following the passing of her aunt and uncle, Cheymarie meets someone who seems promising, gentle, and respectful. For a moment, the possibility of something meaningful begins to take shape.
But as the connection unfolds, the promise of love slowly begins to unravel.
What Cheymarie hoped would become a meaningful relationship instead becomes an unexpected lesson in timing, boundaries, disappointment, and letting go. The story explores the emotional space between hope and disappointment, attraction and avoidance, connection and the quiet ache of wondering what could have been.
Transition – The Traumatic Lover is not simply a story about losing someone.
It is a story about finding the strength to continue believing in love after disappointment.
Through Cheymarie’s journey, the film explores the courage it takes to honor personal boundaries, protect your healing, and recognize when something you hoped for is not meant to become what you imagined.
Because the end of one possibility does not have to be the end of your belief in love.
TRANSITION - The Shift
What happens when the battles you cannot see begin to shape the life you are trying to build?
Transition – The Shift is a story born from lived experience, generational memory, and the spiritual battles that often go unseen. Adapted from Crystal Sauls’ book The Transition, the screenplay follows Cheymarie’s evolution from childhood into adulthood as she navigates love, betrayal, family history, emotional trauma, faith, and the search for emotional safety.
But Cheymarie’s story is about more than what happens to her.
It is about the things that can follow us through generations—cycles of dysfunction, heartbreak disguised as love, unresolved pain, and family patterns that can quietly shape the choices we make as adults.
The story begins with family tension, childhood innocence, and the desire for stability. As Cheymarie grows into a woman seeking success, faith, and purpose, her journey becomes increasingly psychological and spiritual. Her relationship with Viernmo becomes a catalyst for the shift, exposing jealousy, manipulation, betrayal, and the tension between destiny and distraction.
As supernatural elements emerge, Transition – The Shift explores the idea that spiritual battles do not always announce themselves. Sometimes they appear through people, relationships, choices, and unresolved wounds.
Sometimes the battlefield looks like love.
Spanning multiple generations and moving between nostalgia, romance, drama, tension, and empowerment, the film mirrors the way trauma can enter quietly before revealing its full weight. Through conversations, silences, relationships, and subtle shifts, Cheymarie’s internal transition unfolds alongside the turmoil around her.
At its heart, Transition – The Shift is a story about awakening.
It explores emotional boundaries, spiritual awareness, heartbreak, resilience, and the courage it takes to walk away from what is destroying you—even when what is familiar feels like love.
Cheymarie’s journey reminds audiences that not every battle is visible, not every wound is obvious, and not every relationship is meant to follow us into our next season.
Sometimes closure is incomplete. Sometimes the past still echoes. And sometimes the greatest act of courage is choosing to move forward anyway.
Ultimately, Transition – The Shift is a testimony of rising from heartbreak, spiritual attack, and generational cycles with resilience, clarity, and grace.
It is a story about facing the darkness, finding your voice, and discovering the courage to shift.
