STORY:
Sangfroid, follows the emotional journey of the character Ren. He has always felt invisible and unseen by everyone but one day he stumbles upon a peculiar yet very friendly character named Ada who not only notices him but tries to befriend him. In the short time where their friendship starts taking shape, Ada helps Ren become more confident in himself and find magic and comfort in the little things about life.
ABOUT THE PROJECT:
Sangfroid is an independent self directed and written short film. I have always loved telling stories as a child and I'm currently in the process of reinventing myself as a storyteller and artist. This is why I decided to tell short visual stories that follow topics that are really close to my heart. This film is dedicated to those I love and cherish for life and is also my way of reaching out to others who have lived or are living an invisible life. I hope you can learn to see the magic around you and find peace and comfort in the way you live life now.
