Short-Film: EMPATHIC

Type
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.

MARGARET

Supporting. Female. 70s. Small and dignified — then frighteningly desperate. The first stranger Emily truly knows, she turns on a dime from grace to clawing, deranged need. A gift of a role for a senior actor: deep feeling, a hard pivot, and a flash of real menace. Tears and intensity required.
