The story
A FAMILY PG RATED SHORT FILM
16 minutes with credits.
Something for children, adults and families.
Two wide-eyed girls escape their suffocating parents and journey on a supernatural adventure in the midst of a pandemic lockdown.
Along the way they leave their ordinary world and enter a supernatural, fearful and timeless place that is the domain of the Key Lord. The Key Lord frightens the girls into finding their confidence and place in the world. They build an everlasting friendship with each other.
The girls return, stronger in their character and with a new understanding with their parents.
One of the girls discovers the powerful Silver Key left by the Key Lord to wield a new power.
The film develops through a journey from a time of excess (Pre-Covid), a time of severe lockdowns (Covid), and a hope of a new path of understanding (Post-Covid).
Note: We never see the girls unmasked until the very end of the film. Pictured here is an exclusive and confidential preview!
