Swept
DIRECTED BY - Tai Fauci, Slobdan Gajic, Luke Stettner, Shaun O'Banion, Sai Varadan, Rebecca Rose, Eddie Mensore, James Oxford, Laura Storm, Powell Weaver
Richard and Jamie's lives are spinning out of control. He spends nights at the office while both his wife and boss demand more. She finds herself in a recovery center, grappling to unite the voices that fight to preserve and destroy her. When Richard visits Jamie at the center for the first time, this brother and sister begin to break down barriers. Wavering between denial and confrontation, they struggle to find the path towards healing, support, and love. 'Swept' is a 10 minute short film that takes an honest look at both sides of the struggle for recovery - that of the Eating Disorder sufferer and that of the family. As Richard and Jamie, struggle to navigate complex feelings of denial and abandonment, guilt and shame and, ultimately love and hope, 'Swept' offers a powerful message for families or anyone who finds themselves ill-equipped to weather the effects of this devastating disease. It is a film about love, communication, and hope.
