Film (Short / Student)

Content

A solitary young woman participates in a trial for an experimental drug designed to enhance empathy, allowing her to inhabit the minds of others—experiencing all their joys, pains, and secrets. What starts as an enlightening experience quickly turns into a snare: once you deeply understand someone, separating becomes unthinkable for both. This psychological thriller, infused with dark and eerie elements, echoes the styles of David Lynch and early Brian De Palma.

Title

Tara

Content

Supporting. Female. 30s. Asian. David's research assistant — warm, sharp, reserved, exact; the human counterweight to his cold precision. She's caught in a quietly coercive relationship with him and carrying a secret, and her arc runs from composed professional to exposed, longing, and endangered. Subtle, intelligent work that cracks open into raw vulnerability. (Note: intimate beats are implied / handled via AI — no on-camera intimacy or nudity. Role includes a choreographed strangulation.)
