The Watch

The crucifixion, through the eyes of the Roman Soldiers.

The Watch is a historical drama that reimagines the crucifixion of Christ through the eyes of four Roman soldiers. At its center is Longinus, a weary centurion whose act of piercing Christ’s side becomes the beginning of his awakening into the truth behind Christ’s miracles. As the soldiers carry out their orders, each begins to feel the weight of what they have done, drawn into a quiet reckoning between their devotion to Rome and the unfolding events of God’s existence.

  • Longinus

    Longinus is a battle-worn Roman centurion whose loyalty to the empire begins to crumble after witnessing the crucifixion. Scarred in body and spirit, he becomes a man torn between duty and revelation, searching for faith in the shadow of his own violence.

  • Marcellus

    Marcellus is a young Roman scribe assigned to record the executions, whose quiet curiosity about Christ turns into an unspoken devotion. Through his eyes, the story becomes one of witnessing and remembrance, where writing becomes both confession and faith.

  • Titus

    Titus is a brutish soldier driven by appetite and survival, blind to the weight of his actions until the lie he helps create begins to haunt him. He represents the cost of obedience, a man who trades his soul for silver and finds no peace in the bargain.

  • Cassian

    Cassian is a commander of order and discipline, loyal to Rome above all else, who suppresses every flicker of doubt within his men. He stands as the embodiment of empire’s control, a figure who believes silence is strength until belief itself becomes rebellion.

  • Pontius Pilate

    Pontius Pilate is a man of reason trapped by politics, torn between justice and fear of revolt. In washing his hands, he seeks to cleanse himself of guilt, yet the stain remains, echoing through every man who watched and did nothing.

  • Jesus

    Jesus is shown not through words but through the stillness that surrounds him, a presence that unsettles those who look upon him too long. His suffering becomes a mirror, revealing the emptiness within the men who crucify him.
