FEAR

A man being pursued comes face to face with himself and learns to accept his own identity by no longer running away, but rather confronting it. It's about change, personal growth and self reflection. With a silhouette style I wanted to enlarge the effect for the viewer of identifying yourself with the character/situation. To create a feeling of acceptance and relief, hopefully motivating them.

The film is really built on metaphors. A lot is 'foreshadowed' so that the viewer hopefully understands what it all means at the end, just like a title sequence for a series for example, only then as a short film. The title also has sort of role in the film, changing as the character confronts his fear.

The film also played during Lowlands Festival in 2024 and during the Kaboom Industry Days 2025 at HKU Media (Oudenoord 700)!
