Story

“The Beginning Of December” is a 9-minute, 35mm short film about an extraordinary moment in the life of an artist turned call-girl Rachel. Her journey within a journey takes her into her own dark past and to the crossroads of a life-changing decision.

Stepping out of a cold, drizzly December evening into the warmth of a dimly lit hallway, Rachel has every reason to believe this night will be just like any other, empty love and passion traded for a contribution to her retirement account.

But, as soon as her journey begins she’s confronted by the evils of her past. The shattered innocence of a child, violent rape of a teen and a frightened woman’s irrational urge to run stir Rachel’s long buried emotions and lead her to a doorway of decision: make a stand and regain her life or continue to drown in the painful horror of her past.
