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 minute
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.
