His Shadow (2020)

-Short Narrative film

Logline: A young man is haunted and tested by the shadows of his past, and must choose between the path of self acceptance or self destruction.

Story:

This story deals with themes of guilt, denial, self-destruction and family. Inspired by the story of Cain and Abel and propelled by the Jungian analysis of “The Shadow”, this film aims to deconstruct the personal dark side that everyone holds and does not speak about.

Allegory in its entirety and heavily stylized, this film is a character driven subjective POV of a mentally exhausted and fractured Matteo, who rather than accept his guilt and his actions, runs away from it and stores it in his unconscious, in his “shadow”.
