Become an apostle of the End Times.
Help us complete the first ever Catholic film Saga on The Book of Revelation.
(Pascendi Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit. All donations are tax-deductible.)
Help us bring the awe-inspiring visions of the Apocalypse to life! We’ve successfully created the first three episodes that are now becoming a featured-length movie set to be released on theaters soon, but it requires professional English audio dubbing to reach audiences globally.
Little more than half of Revelation is left to be produced as a second part of the saga – featuring dramatic portrayals of celestial battles, the dragon, the beasts and the Parusia. These scenes demand a higher budget, and we also need to invest in marketing to share this vital message worldwide.
We need to raise 1.6 Million dollars to adapt the produced episodes into a feature-length film, release it in theaters, produce part 2 of the saga, professional audio dub to english, promote and distribute.
In a world desperately needing the message of the Apocalypse, your generous support can make a crucial difference. Unlike major productions, we don’t have the support of big production companies or platforms like Netflix or Amazon, which shy away from Christ’s message. Yet, the urgency to spread the Truth is greater than ever, as iniquity and apostasy grow rapidly.
Be part of this unique movement to renew Christian culture through cinema. Your support is not just a donation; it’s a legacy in the making.
Synopsis
The Apocalypse of Saint John is a riveting Docudrama that offers an insightful and captivating exploration of the Book of Revelation. Featuring breathtaking visuals and expert analysis from scholars and theologians, this series provides a profound analysis of Saint John’s enigmatic prophetic visions, interpreted through the lens of Traditional Catholicism.
The Project
The project that started as a miniseries, is turning into a Movie Saga which will consist of two feature films that will encompass the entirety of the visions narrated in the Book of Revelation. The films will maintain a genuinely Catholic focus, being faithful to Truth and Tradition.
The first film (set to premiere in cinemas in 2024) will include the visions of the 7 Churches, the 7 Seals, and the 7 Trumpets. According to traditional interpretation, these three parts constitute the historical-eschatological section of Revelation, that is, the events leading up to the End Times.
The second film will address the strictly eschatological part of the prophecy, referring to the End Times, that is: the reign of the Antichrist and the Second Coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

A Catholic Interpretation
The series is primarily based on the studies of the Argentine Catholic priest and writer, Father Leonardo Castellani, especially in his book EL APOKALYPIS DE SAN JUAN. Castellani, in turn, draws upon patristic sources and the most authoritative authors, such as Saint John Henry Newman and the venerable Bartholomew Holzhauser, among others.
We chose to follow Father Castellani for his undisputed orthodoxy and fidelity to the tradition of the Holy Catholic Church and for the impressive relevance of his interpretation, which more than 60 years after being written has become even more accurate than before.
A short Bio of Fr. Castellani and some of his writtings in English can be found here.
The book in which we base has Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur from the year 1963.
Revelation’s Urgency in Today’s Crisis
In times of crisis, Christians have historically turned to prophecy for guidance. Currently, there exists a crisis greater than all those preceding it. It is extremely serious and universal. The sight of the forces of Evil today is overwhelming: The mental confusion reigning in our contemporaries is horrifying; and it has everything in its favor: corrupted sciences, chaotic philosophy, the political situation of states, the power of big money, perverse and degenerate art, mainstream media, and worst of all, the apostasy of a large part of the Catholic clergy.
Our project aims to provide an authentic Traditional Catholic perspective on Revelation, addressing the dual challenges of modern despair and misplaced optimism. It’s essential to share this interpretation, offering true hope and direction.
Why Make a Movie?
Our aim is to engage not just Catholics but a diverse audience with a film that’s both enlightening and very entertaining. That’s why we want to bring this genuinely Catholic message to the big screen.
The success of our YouTube miniseries – Spanish version – which garnered about 8 million views before being censored, demonstrates the public’s appetite for high-quality, genuinely Catholic content.
Director ´s Vision
Unconsciously, people perceive what is beautiful as true and what is ugly as false. That is why it seems so important to us to present the message of Revelation in the most artistic and beautiful way possible, as it is harmful to neglect and skimp on its quality.
With a primarily evangelizing interest, we seek to reach such an artistic and technical level that the work attracts not only Catholics but, above all, those who are not. For “it is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.” (Mt. 9:9-13).
