Where Withered Flowers Grow

Where Withered Flowers Grow is a short film that follows the story of Jason, a troubled young man in denial of his past and of what is happening around him. Falling deeper into his broken mind, Jason unravels a dark truth he can’t accept.

Inspired by the emotive series Everywhere At The End Of Time by The Caretaker, renowned for its portrayal of dementia's progression, this film is a compelling exploration of psychological depth and hidden revelations, featuring experimental visuals that add an extra layer of intrigue to the narrative.
