Bringing epic stories from page to screen
A Penberthy Family Entertainment Production
Trailer Coming Soon
Born between two worlds. Hunted by both.
Evelyn Cross never asked to be different. The daughter of an angel and a demon, she's spent nineteen years hiding her supernatural heritage from a world that would destroy her if they knew the truth. But when demons begin hunting her, drawn by the power burning inside her, hiding is no longer an option.
Trained in secret by Jacob, a battle-scarred warrior with his own dark past, Evelyn must embrace the abilities she's always feared. Every fight brings her closer to answers—and closer to the dangerous truth about who she really is and why both heaven and hell want her dead.
As ancient powers awaken and old alliances crumble, Evelyn faces an impossible choice: surrender to the darkness within or burn bright enough to light a new path forward.
The first spark has ignited. The question is—will it save the world or consume it?

Rebel of the Forsaken: First Spark represents more than just an adaptation—it's a passion project years in the making. What began as Johnathan Penberthy's vision of a complex, morally gray supernatural world has evolved into a cinematic experience that challenges traditional notions of good versus evil.
Director Johnathan Penberthy brings a unique perspective to the material, having co-authored the source novel. His intimate understanding of the characters and mythology ensures that the film remains true to the story's emotional core while embracing the visual spectacle that cinema allows.
"This isn't a story about angels being purely good or demons being purely evil," says Johnathan. "It's about a young woman caught between two worlds, trying to forge her own path. That's what makes Evelyn's journey so compelling—she refuses to be defined by her heritage."
The production aims to create a grounded, character-driven supernatural thriller that doesn't sacrifice heart for spectacle. With practical effects combined with cutting-edge VFX, immersive world-building, and a focus on authentic performances, First Spark promises to be a fresh take on the supernatural fantasy genre.
"We're creating a world where the supernatural feels real, where every choice has weight, and where the line between hero and villain isn't always clear. That's the story we want to tell."
