False Promise

2014, 15 minutes

A tense, emotional store of a young criminal's struggle during initiation.

Desmond, a naive young criminal, hopes to join the ranks of his elder employers Phil and Mike in the drug trade by way of an initiation ceremony - the execution of a hostage. But when push comes to shove, Desmond realises that he may be a criminal, but he's not a murderer. His employers give him an ultimatum - kill or be killed.
