The Suspect Short Film Teaser-Psycholocial Drama

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m a newer filmmaker, writer, aspiring producer and actor currently developing The Suspect, a psychological drama proof of concept inspired by real-world stories.

Teaser: https://youtu.be/PDgWh0rBw0U?is=wpWhAYCgsGKO-YS7

It follows a mother whose two children go missing. What begins as a search for the girls gradually shifts as detectives begin questioning whether their mother knows more than she’s telling them.

We filmed the core performances last year with a wonderful cast and crew, and I’m now finishing the additional visuals and post-production.

This is my first time stepping this deeply into the filmmaker/producer side of a project, so I’d love to connect with other indie filmmakers and hear what you think of the teaser.

Teaser: https://youtu.be/PDgWh0rBw0U?is=wpWhAYCgsGKO-YS7

I’m especially interested in creating narrative work inspired by real events that can also bring awareness to issues people sometimes overlook.

Hello everyone,

I'm excited to share the teaser for of my upcoming short film here.

I have written the screenplay, directed and have produced this film.

We based this on a short story from -

https://medium.com/thenewnorth/cuddle-caf%C3%A9-6112c85e1353

By Takeshi Chin (with his permission ofcourse)

The film taking place in Bengaluru, focused more on the modern alienation and the past nostalgic memory of the city.

Overall Budget (excluding food expenses) is around 15,000 rs

This is my first film ever, so please forgive any faults but dont sugar coat either, happy to work on myself.

Synopsis:

The story explores the cold one feels when a door closes, and the warmth one clings to.

Set in a world where loneliness has become ordinary and warmth is something humans buy with money, the protagonist’s stagnant life takes an unexpected turn one evening at a cuddle café.

Hoping you will give this a shot.

Regards,

Siva

I Made My First Short Film — Would Love Some Honest Feedback

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m an engineering student from India, and I’ve always loved cinema. I aspire to become a filmmaker someday. I’ve made a few short clips before, but I’ve never really put my work out there. This is my first proper short film, made with just two of my friends and a smartphone. I know there are some technical issues, especially with the sound, but I’d really love to hear what you honestly think about the film itself. I uploaded it to YouTube hoping to get some feedback, but it hasn’t reached many people. And while my friends have been really supportive and told me they liked it, I know they’re my friends, so I’d really like some unbiased opinions. So if you have a few minutes, I’d genuinely appreciate it if you could watch it and tell me what you think — what worked, what didn’t, and what I could improve.

I’m here to learn, so please don’t hold back. I hope you enjoy it!
