We’re excited to share some details about our upcoming short film, 'The Pursuit of Forgiveness'. This is a deeply personal project that explores the challenging themes of addiction, family, and redemption.
Synopsis:
The story follows Liam, a man whose life has been torn apart by addiction. His ex-wife Laura has tried for years to help him recover, but nothing has worked. Now separated, she’s moved on with a new partner, Dave, but Liam still struggles with his inner demons. Amidst the chaos, their daughter Claire is caught in the middle, watching her family fracture. As Liam's life spirals, he must face the consequences of his actions and the possibility of reconciliation—or risk losing everything, including the bond with his daughter.
Cast:
We’re thrilled to have a fantastic cast onboard. Robert James will portray 'Liam', bringing depth to a character riddled with guilt and despair. Niamh Louise McGuigan stars as 'Claire', capturing the emotional complexity of a daughter torn between love and disappointment. Natasha Lockhart plays 'Laura', balancing a tough exterior with the lingering care she has for her ex-husband. Owen James joins the cast as 'Dave', Laura's new partner, who finds himself in an awkward position navigating the family’s fractured dynamics.
Themes:
At its heart, 'The Pursuit of Forgiveness' is about the impact of addiction on relationships and the struggle for redemption. It’s a story of brokenness and healing, showing the ripple effect addiction has on loved ones and the inner battle for forgiveness—both from others and oneself.
Support Our Film:
To bring this impactful story to life, we are aiming to raise £5,000 through our crowdfunding campaign. This will help cover actor and crew wages, location fees, and other essential production costs. If you’d like to support us, any donation—big or small—would mean the world to us. And if you can’t contribute financially, sharing the link with others would be a huge help too.
