FALL RISK | 19 minutes

“Fall Risk” is a tense psychological thriller that tracks the harrowing journey of a young woman, Dylan (Pedretti), who bounces repeatedly between hospitals and rehabilitation centers after receiving a devastating life-changing diagnosis. Thrust into a whirlwind of medical uncertainty and emotional turmoil, Dylan fights to reclaim control over her existence. Yet, as she grapples with mounting physical limitations and inner doubts, subtle red flags emerge in her relationship with her partner, Emily (Stasey). Paranoia sets in—could Emily be concealing dark secrets that threaten everything? And in a twist that shatters perceptions, Dylan confronts the chilling possibility that her own body might harbor the most profound betrayal of all, blurring the lines between victimhood, manipulation, and self-deception in this riveting 19-minute short film.
