TIFF is always a great source for new and up-in-coming talent behind and in front of the camera. Coming to TIFF this September is a new Sci-Fi Thriller short starring Connor Jessup (Falling Skies) and Alex Harrouch (Degrassi: The Next Generation). I am always amazed by the work that comes out at TIFF. Today a teaser was released for this short embedded above. The story has an interesting concept and has to deliver it in 12 minutes. Let us know what you think about this short and checkout all the upcoming shorts this fall by visiting TIFF.net.
Official Synopsis
Three bullied high school seniors, Marshall, Leonard, and Dermot, are chased from winter formal and end up in a horrific car accident. In the aftermath, Marshall and Leonard discover they have the ability to ‘reappear’ completely healed after they die, while Dermot survives the accident but is paralyzed. Marshall tries to convince Leonard that they should kill Dermot so he will reappear healed before the police show up, rather than leave him paralyzed…
