Ghost of Tomorrow

By Kelly Bergsma with 6.5

thriller · Short Films · english

The story the film wants to tell is one of deceit, intrigue, betrayal and violence. It has murder, blackmail and double-crossing all roped in to enrich the plot further.

Essentially, the narrative is driven by the disagreements between two pivotal characters, Kaya and Declan. The former has snatched from the latter an important career position that he felt himself more worthy of. This development ensures that revenge takes the form of the driving force for what follows next. In the process, the film becomes a devoted attempt to portray all of these underpinnings and ideas.

Shot within a limited time frame of a pandemic-ridden world, Ghost of Tomorrow strives to use its actors and their performances most judiciously to present the final story to the viewer. It also attempts to keep its storytelling taut as one development gives way to another. While Declan finds himself consumed by the darkness to avenge what he lost, what would truly be his fate? This question remains central to the plot, eventually finding its answer in an unexpected manner, aimed at invoking shock in the audience.
