Short Film Concept

Hi guys,I'm Sarath. I have been working on a short film concept,a mix of emotion and mystery. Here's a short synopsis of my story. Synopsis: Episode-S Serah, a gentle and reserved young woman, spends a quiet weekend alone in her apartment while her roommate is away. The day feels peaceful,calls from her mother, casual chats with her friend, music, and dance filling the silence. But as evening falls, subtle cracks begin to appear in her reality. Strange sensations, shifting moods, and moments she can’t explain start to take over. When her friend returns, the apartment looks disturbed and Serah can’t remember what truly happened. Between confusion and fear, pieces of her memory collide with something darker hiding in her mind. Episode S is a haunting psychological drama set within the walls of a single room where emotions, illusions, and reality intertwine to reveal the fragile depths of the human mind. I'd love to hear your thoughts or feedbacks and if anyone would like to produce, direct or collaborate.Let's connect.

you want it to be marketable, besides cheap to make... what are you going to do with unexplained stuff? This is where you have to be creative

Sarath Viswanath

Thanks, for your valuable feedback Vincent sir.I actually have the full story worked out. I just kept the unexplained elements out of the synopsis on purpose.

They’ll make complete sense when shown visually in the film. I wanted to keep a bit of that mystery alive here.

I think you should keep it at one line and deliver a synopsis... you will get a lot of hits that way... Do you have a logline?

Sarath Viswanath

Thanks a lot,Vincent sir! I'm new here and I think I definitely need to update the synopsis I shared.really thanks for your precious advice

Your description of "subtle cracks" appearing in her reality is a fantastic visual hook. It's a great challenge to portray that kind of internal, psychological conflict purely through cinematic language rather than exposition. It sounds like a powerful piece. I wish you the very best of luck in finding the right collaborators to bring "Episode-S" to life!
