I am producing and directing a short film for a script I've written.
Our aim with the project is to tell a compelling story that both entertains and challenges its audience.
Precious Light offers an examination of the forces that unite us and those that drive us apart, without being preachy or endorsing any specific political agenda.
Precious Light will take you on an uncomfortable journey exploring a dark aspect of human nature familiar to us all.
Part allegory, part psychological drama, Precious Light explores the fine line between appreciating and obsessing over the things that bring richness to our lives.
As the characters in our film dig themselves into increasingly questionable circumstances, the audience is forced to contemplate its own empty pursuits. We're all susceptible to stumbling over that fine line
between appreciation and obsession. Whether it's the relentless pursuit of resources, or the all-consuming growth mindset, society has an endless supply of hollow games on offer.
Logline: A couple's quality of life is transformed when they discover a mysterious Light in their remote cottage. But it's not long before their different experiences with the Light drives a dangerous wedge in their relationship.
Storyline:
Despite living in a world without modern comforts, a Man and a Woman have managed to achieve equanimity and comfort in their post-apocalyptic existence.
When a mysterious Light spontaneously appears, they embrace the unexpected gift and bask in their newfound source of illumination.
As the Man's fixation with the Light shifts from a practical appreciation to an unhealthy obsession, the couple's state of equilibrium is threatened.
The Woman undertakes desperate measures to counter the Man's descent into madness, only to face the toxic bond that's formed between Man and Light.
