Help Launch short film, Awakening. A Vision by Joy Foster

Logline: Tyreese, a recently released inmate enters a world far from what he remembers. After a recent hypnosis he has the ability to see demons that roam the earth. Tyreese must face off against internal and external forces, including his close friends and parole officer.

Story: Tyreese struggles internally with childhood wounds and things from his past. Tyreese is used to his solitude where his emotions run haywire. Young Tyreese and shadow Tyreese are different versions of him who have kept him company throughout the six years he has been imprisoned. Tyreese sees his therapist in group therapy, as a going away gift matt hypnotizes Tyreese to help him navigate clearly. What Tyreese doesn’t expect is to be given the power to see demons. Tyreese is frightened by his ability to see demons and thinks he is losing his mind. Tyreese meets with his parole offer, Cain ( a demon) and soon discovers he is not delusional.

As we watch the story we’re able to figure out if Tyrese’s attachment to the past is stronger than his commitment to his future.
