The film tells the story of a former Marine's PTSD attack while at home with his wife and daughter. The goal is to enter the mind of the protagonist and interpret the ghosts of his past, which torment him until finally he finally breaks.
Our project is partially funded by the University of Beira Interior, providing us with a strong pre-production base for the short film, allowing us to have a cast of professional actors. However, this is a story that needs a strong visual component of Art Direction, since it will visually portray a world of nightmares. It is a different way of showing PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder)within the human mind, necessary for the impact of the short and the story itself. This is where crowdfunding enters the equation. If enough people give financial support, however small, the joint effort will bring this short to life.
