Be part of "To Whom It May Concern": An Original Short Film

Hello hopeful donor,
We're a group of young, filmmakers passionate about telling a dark, thought-provoking story that explores the human mind. Those involved are Jasmine Moore, Ryan Timmins, Eva Suskind, and Kat Piercy. We're excited to share that story, "To Whom It May Concern", a psychological thriller that delves into themes of obsession, manipulation, and identity. At the end of the day we'll need funds to make this happen and we'd like to raise around $2,500 and beyond to do so.

To Whom It May Concern follows Ollie, a young man battling his darkest impulses brought on by OCD and the violent world around him, and Dr. Aisling, a therapist whose intentions may not be as pure as they seem. As the boundaries between reality and dreams blur, Ollie is drawn into a dangerous game where he must confront his deepest fears—or be consumed by them. This is about control, the unknown, and the power suggestion has when paired with vulnerability and motive.

Why This Film Matters
Mental health and identity are at the core of this film. It’s an exploration of how our thoughts shape our reality and how easily we can lose ourselves when we trust the wrong voice. The story is personal and universal, reflecting struggles we all face—questions about who we are and the things we fear most.

The Vision
Cinematically, this film draws inspiration from thrillers like Silence of the Lambs, The Shining, and Psycho. Visually, it will be dark, moody, and intimate, with a focus on tension and subtle details that heighten the psychological experience. Every frame will aim to immerse the audience in Ollie’s delicate psyche. Below is a series of shots from film and tv that will inspire the look of the short film.
