PENANCE
Short Film · Script Completed
"Alex asks the only person she can ask, Charlotte, to turn her guilt into a mark. Charlotte refuses the job and will keep her in the bed only as the woman who did it."
One room, two people, one night. After Edinburgh, Alex used Charlotte’s private writing against her in the kitchen, in front of her sister, to win. Now she wants pain so she can stay. Charlotte won’t become the woman who lets her off. A zero-budget two-hander about refusal, not redemption.
BLACK FLAG - Illegal Alien
Short Film · Script Completed
"A weary trafficker smuggling immigrants to 'safety' hides a grim secret - forcing him to confront his own complicity in a horrifying system."
This project blends sci-fi horror with dystopian realism, exploring exploitation, complicity, and systemic power structures. It questions how individuals become trapped within larger forces, unable to escape their roles - whether by choice or circumstance.
