about the project

Project Title: Red Deer
Genre: Psychological Thriller / Surreal Drama

Project Description: This project is an experimental short film exploring the fragmented memory of a man’s past relationship. It’s a story about the indifferent nature of our memories and the way they are structured and isolate us. With striking visuals and a haunting atmosphere, the film aims to capture the experience of being lost within one’s own mind— where every step forward might lead to deeper uncertainty.

Synopsis: The narrative follows Ben, lost in a maze of his own thoughts, drifting between disordered rooms, dark forests, and an eerie, infinite apartment building. The only constant is a Johanna —ethereal, enigmatic—who appears and disappears, in these spaces drawing him deeper into his own memories. The story unravels in a series of strange encounters: flickering lights in a black void, the hum of a song at his apartment door, a winding drive through an impenetrable forest, and a beach that appears like a mirage in the midst of the night. The GIRL’s playful yet haunting dialogue blurs the lines between humor and despair, grounding him in memories and sensations that seem both real and illusionary. Ultimately, the MAN’s journey is one of searching for a truth he can’t define, an elusive sense of peace in a world that shifts around him.

Shooting in Amsterdam on 12-13/12/2024. These won’t be full-day shoots—specific times will be communicated later.
