Three brothers from Costa Rica, fueled by their passion for filmmaking and telling captivating stories, have joined forces to create Purple Duck LLC. This indie film company explores and challenges the boundaries of cinema through the power of creativity and storytelling.

Purple Duck is reaching out to film enthusiasts worldwide to help us make this short film a reality. We invite you to be a part of our first project, THRENODY, a suspenseful and atmospheric story. We believe this short film has the potential to not only entertain audiences but also spark conversations about mental health, sexual desires, and human connections.

We are currently in the post-production stage. Threnody is the debut short film of writer, director, and actor Isaias Badilla.

Logline

In a modern and superficial New York City, a grieving woman encounters an unusual person on the street, blurring the lines between dreams and reality.

Intention Note

This poignant story was inspired by a Costa Rican folk tale called "La Segua", a woman who turns into a horse head monster to punish unfaithful drunk men. In the short film, the grieving woman is allured by an unusual person, embarking on a surreal journey through desire and loss. Inspired by Latin American magical realism, the short film explores the superficiality of modern sexual and romantic relationships and the power of facing your deepest vulnerabilities.

Every contribution, big or small, will directly impact the short film. Money will go towards post-production:
