WOUND is an upcoming feature film written & directed by Nicola Roberto Belmont with cinematography by Ella Jade Boberg. It is a psychological drama with horror, sci-fi, and supernatural elements.
SYNOPSIS:
In a world consumed by apathy and haunted by entities that feed on human emptiness, Harley, a young man scarred by the loss of his mother, works within the company that executes the infested. When he gains the chance to confront the source of this plague, he must journey into broken minds and face the darkness within, hoping to break the cycle before he is lost himself.
This film takes place in a bleak alternate reality, neither in past nor future, which exists in its own isolated bubble. An apathetic world devoid of faith and friendship, where people live disconnected and struggle to survive a rapidly growing plague of paranormal condition known as INFESTATION. Infestation feeds on its people's despair and trauma, latching onto its victims, the infested, with the aid of paranormal entities that live in the shadows. This causes distortions in reality around them and makes infested environments highly dangerous. The government thus responded with the establishment of the Paranormal Anomalies Control Center (P.A.C.C.) in an effort to contain and combat infestation. P.A.C.C. agents enter infested spaces, eliminate the source, and clean up to restore the space back to its original state. Most people live disconnected and have become unable to conceive of any better life for themselves or a reality beyond their current existence, which makes the citizens of this world highly susceptible to infestation. Our main character HARLEY, with the aid of his close friend NICO and a mysterious benevolent entity known as BIFROST, are on a quest to find the cure to infestation and to hopefully put people on a path to a better world.
