The After: A Welsh Short Film

Aim

We're raising £10,000 to bring our short film 'The After' to life.

WE'RE NOW RAISING £10,000

Our first campaign helped us get The After ready for production.

Now we need your help to shoot the film in South Wales and take it through post-production.

THE STORY

"We are fine." This line captures the polite lie told when a world fractures. The After explores two parallel forms of paralysis: Klara, frozen by maternal loss and financial decay, and June, suffocating inside a gilded, wealthy mould she is desperately trying to outrun. When these inertias collide, volatile, deeply human friction follows.

Through restrained visual storytelling and deeply performance-driven filmmaking, The After examines the aftermath of loss beyond the moment of tragedy itself. Rather than focusing on grief as a singular event, the film explores its quieter consequences: financial insecurity, isolation, changing identities, and the pressure to convince the world that everything is fine. Alongside this, it explores how privilege and expectation can become their own form of confinement.
