This kickstarter-funded short film, As They Continue to Fall, directed by Nikhil Bhagat, is about a homeless guy who hunts fallen angel with a sniper rifle. The premise is interesting: fallen angels are supposed to be evil, but what if you’re the only person who can see them? The film flashes back to the main character’s childhood, where his apparent affliction also haunts him through the playground, following him to his dimly-lit, dark future. Synopsis:
“Tells the story of a homeless man who hunts fallen angels in a dystopian society filled with crime and corruption. Haunted by a dark past, yet hopeful for the future, he continues to hunt as they continue to fall.” As They Continue to Fall is directed by filmmaker Nikhil Bhagat, who graduated from USC film school. The screenplay is by C. Robert Cargill, aka “Massawyrm”, writer on Sinister and Doctor Strange. Featuring cinematography by Noah Rosenthal, with VFX by Andy Wong and Ben Hall. “This is basically a proof of concept/tiny sliver of a bigger story,” and is being pitched as a feature.
It’s a great little short film, and we’re looking forward to Doctor Strange at the end of this year (flaws and all)!
