A year after escaping an abusive relationship, Ella navigates fear, longing, and self-doubt—until an anonymous tweet sparks a connection that helps her reclaim her identity, trust, and the strength to move forward.
Genre: Thriller/Drama Length: 15 minutes
fragments is a short drama-thriller that explores the lived experience of a woman in the aftermath of emotional abuse. Through moments of fear, memory, and quiet resilience, the film stays close to Ella’s perspective, inviting the audience to inhabit the confusion, hypervigilance, and emotional contradictions that often follow abuse long after it ends.
By focusing on the survivor’s inner reality rather than the abuse itself, fragments brings to the screen a story many women recognise but rarely see represented with honesty. The film aims to offer validation within a complex and often minimised form of trauma, acknowledging that emotional abuse leaves marks that are fragmented, invisible, and deeply real.
I'm actively looking for casting & crew and aiming to shoot by October/November.
After ghosting his friends for suspiciously long, Derrick resurfaces for a dinner that reveals his absence has less to do with a personal crisis and far more to do with science.
Genre: Thriller Length: 3/4 minutes
After weeks of unexplained silence, Derrick invites his longtime friends for dinner. What begins as familiar banter — wine jokes, old grievances, half-serious talk of relationships — slowly exposes the absence Derrick has tried to normalise. He’s changed. Subtly, almost imperceptibly.
As the evening unfolds, casual conversation drifts toward a recent article about a secret cloning programme. The mood remains light, until small inconsistencies begin to surface. Derrick’s behaviour doesn’t quite align with shared memories. Details don’t add up. Then a seemingly trivial mistake — an ingredient he should be incredibly allergic to — triggers unease that can no longer be laughed off.
The dinner ends without answers, but with a chilling implication: the science they joked about may already be at the table.
