Logline:
When his girlfriend disappears, a depressed college student returns to campus overwhelmed by warped memories and a haunting feeling that something in the forest has followed him back.

Overview:
Laplace is a narrative short film exploring themes of mental health and the distortion of reality pertaining to a young university student. College is a time of great change where personal stress and external pressures collide. Many outside forces try to pull individuals into a single ideology, believing it offers every answer to life. Shaped by subjective experiences and unstable emotion, the main character feels trapped in a twisted worldview. With Laplace, I hope to translate an experience that shows how feelings of isolation and powerlessness can drive people to make dangerous choices that ultimately go unnoticed around us.
