Title: Iris
Storyline: 'Iris' is a 15-minute drama/thriller exploring the haunting intersections of memory, identity, and familial trust.
When a forgotten sister reappears at a secluded cottage with unsettling details about a life the protagonist doesn’t recognise, Iris is thrown into turmoil. As she begins to question everything she once believed, her sister Tilly becomes her only anchor in uncovering a chilling truth.
Together, they must confront not only their fractured bond but also the manipulative man Iris believed would always protect her.
Themes of emotional repression, trauma, love and guilt intertwine as the truth begins to surface.
This is a tense and moving opportunity for actors to delve into powerful dramatic material with emotional complexity. The film is professionally produced and paid — ideal for committed performers wanting to build their screen portfolio
