Dawn Rising
NARRATIVE FICTION SHORT FILM
Dawn Rising is filled with nostalgia and bittersweet memories yet still holds a gentle reminder that there is always something special the future holds as well. We want this story to be something that makes the audience reflect on their own friendships and relationships in their lives as well as to show the importance of focusing on the small things in life such as watching the sunrise.
