Aim
A Thriller short to show that your past should not scare you and to accept the past to step into the future.
After years apart, Sam agrees to meet her three estranged high school friends at an escape room. But, when a long-held secret threatens to reveal itself, everything begins to unravel leaving Sam questioning what’s real.
Inspired by the beloved game “Cluedo” and the exciting experience of Escape Rooms, we want to bring you a thriller you have yet to see.
Based in one room, four characters and theme's of friendship, grief and acceptance.
Our main protagonist, Sam, and three estranged high school friends reunite at an escape room. But with underlying secrets buried for longer than can be hidden, events begin to unravel one after another – Sam is left to decide what is real.
Even as these events happen, and the group faces them together one by one; the secrets that have been hiding too long will surface ….
“I want to show that your history is something that you should accept even if that takes time and not something to scare you.” – Director Molly Chuter
We want to show that you should accept past experiences and events; event when it takes time in order for you not to be haunted by it and live your life forwards. With the new generation, every event and memory make us individual: the bad and the good.
We need your help in order to achieve this amazing film. We have been in the long process of constructing this story from the ground up. We have been in the planning pre-production stages for half a year now and it’s time for you to join us. We have research, brainstormed and storyboarded and now we need funds to place this vision onto the screen!
Your contribution will go towards covering production costs such as actor’s expense, production design, equipment expenses and much more.
We have industry level equipment sourced from Falmouth University and we have been as a crew training ourselves on this equipment and equipment knowledge to ensure to get the best for this film!
To create a thriller, it requires the audience to be fully entranced in the storyline and characters plus their world. As we are creating the world from scratch, the risk is that the world won't achieve the immersive experience to the audience.
Our challenge is to make sure our audience are fully absorbed in the world are characters are in, the story they are in and the characters themselves.
Help us make that happen with your support!
