our story
In times of MeToo and women speaking up about their experiences we decided to create a film that addresses violence against women in a taut murder-mystery with tough teen turned detective at its centre. The story, without giving any spoilers, focuses on Sydney, a teenage girl whose best friend was murdered weeks prior. As it continues to haunt her, Sydney decides to solve the mystery and discover the identity of her best friend’s killer. With the help of her boyfriend and Violet’s diary, she digs into the past to try and relive the night and reconsidering the suspects and their alibis. But, is it really that simple? Is everything as it seems?
Set in contemporary moment, we drew inspirations on recent teen murder mystery series such as "Elite" or "One of us is lying".
