A Modern Fable - Short Film
What is Actualization about?
Billie has lived in terror of vomiting since childhood. When a positive pregnancy test shatters her fragile stability, she is drawn into a surreal confrontation with her mother, led by her worn-out childhood teddy bear.
“Emetophobia affects millions, but almost no one talks about it. I have had this fear since elementary school but it wasn’t until my early 20’s that I realized there was a name for it. And a name meant treatment, it meant understanding. It meant there was hope. I want anyone suffering with this to know there is hope.”
We still need your help to fully realize our dreams. If we can raise 10k more we can finish building our sets and afford our VFX!
