The Ceremony is About to Begin (2024)

Keith is a filmmaker who gets a message from his ex girlfriend Maddy saying she’s been thinking of him.  Keith is having trouble in his marriage and has always missed Maddy. He was in love with her when she left him to join the Osiris Collective, which calls itself a spiritual group but he believes is a cult.  When he finally responds, Maddy does not answer. 

He decides to do a documentary on the group. Through interviews with former members, he learns the group was led by Osiris who they refer to as father. Members give up their belongings when they join and then pick a new name.   

After Osiris introduced a young man named Anubis to the group, cliques developed and those who disagreed with Anubis became outcasts.  One day Osiris and Anubis went on a hike and only Anubis returned, claiming Osiris died so he was now the leader. A number of people become disillusioned at this point and left the group.  

Keith wants to find Maddy so he sets up a meeting with Anubis. He expects to see cult members at the compound, but it appears empty other than Anubis. Things keep getting weirder and more unnerving but Keith is dedicated his documentary and reconnecting with Maddie. Poor sweet innocent Keith, you should know better than to trust a man you believe is a cult leader..
