SHELLSHOCK

Visceral, haunting and unrelenting, this short film plunges audiences into the fractured mind of a warrior trapped between two worlds: the battlefield and the home front. A decorated combat veteran and Navy Seal returns home only to find himself locked in a new kind of warfare—one fought in the shadows of his own mind. Reality twists and fractures as past and present collide, forcing him into a high-stakes battle for survival against an enemy he cannot see. Every moment is a fight to stay grounded. Every breath is a war against the ghosts that refuse to let him go.

Contains depictions of combat-related trauma, intense flashbacks and psychological distress. Viewer discretion is advised.

RED CARPET ALERT: Filmmaker Justin Garza is expected to attend.
