Concept
My short film will follow a woman struggling with substance abuse as her life eventually spirals into descent.
Each day, her obsession with drugs will continue to grow until she can't cope with not being under the influence.
Her life becomes dependent on these substances and it strains the relationships around her, making her become isolated from all her friends and family members.
In the end, she reaches a breaking point and has no choice but to open up herself to her parents for help.

Characters
The protagonist is a 19-year-old student who turns to drugs to help her cope with stress and anxiety. She uses it as an escape and release from real life. Her face or voice isn't shown throughout the film apart from at the end where she asks her parents for help. This is to show her unwillingness to seek help at the start and her development at the end.
Her parents notice something is troubling their daughter but repeatedly get shut down from her. Their voices are heard but their faces aren't shown as it symbolises that feeling of isolation and loneliness.
The main characters' friends are shown to be extremely impulsive and selfish. They encouraged her to start drugs, to begin with, and eventually left her when she got too much to handle for them. Their faces and voices are shown as these characters are prominent factors in her spiral of misery.
