We are looking for a Gaffer for our short film Beliefs.

LOGLINE:
As Lyla is faced with the harsh reality of
homeless LGBTQ+ youth, her sister Charlie
shows up in an effort to save her so their mom
and ultimately God can forgive her 'sins,' stirring
a conflict that challenges the meaning of love and
acceptance.



SYNOPSIS:
Lyla loves to write, and since she is homeless, she often sits in the library where
Sia works, a girl she seems to like. Lyla sends her personal musings, which she
writes at the library, to magazines, only to be turned down every time. Luck has
not struck her yet in many ways.
Lyla needs a place to sleep. The shelter where Ole works, who has a soft spot for
Lyla, is regularly overbooked, leaving her with no option to stay. She turns to
dating apps where going out with someone in exchange for housing, food, or
money is the norm, especially for LGBTQ2+ homeless youth. With no other
options, she contacts someone she has been speaking with, Girl 3 asking her to
meet up tonight. This puts her in a dangerous situation, as Girl 3 turns out to be a
man with bad intentions.
Lyla is strong and intelligent, which helps her escape the bad situation. She fi nds
herself going to a familiar place, where she decides to spend the night. She falls
into a feverish dream where her hopes and worries collide.
Her worries are directly confronted when she wakes up to see her sister Charlie,
the perfect child. Lyla would rather not be seen by her in this state. She tries to fl ee
but can't overcome Charlie's persistence, leading to a battle over acceptance and
beliefs. Charlie tries to save Lyla from her sins so their mother and God can
forgive her, but Lyla does not need to be saved—she needs to be loved.
