Franklin: A Symphony of Pain

United States

Jeremy Westrate filmmaker

Feature, Abstract Psychological Thriller
  • Added to SNEAK PREVIEWS

    A man’s serenity is shattered by two masked maniacs that violently incapacitate and abduct him.

    Awakening in captivity, he realizes that his nightmarish journey has just begun.

    The viewer and protagonist walk hand-in-hand on a brutal quest for truth as they are subjected to a succession of incidences akin to Alice’s hallucinogenic journey through Wonderland with some torturous acts of ultra-violence along the way.

    The meaning of Franklin’s trip becomes clearer as the story progresses and then definitive when the truth prevails.
