Powerless

2019, 15 minutes

A young female boxer is on the verge of becoming world famous, when a tragedy strikes her family and she has to come to terms with her loss.

‘Powerless’ tells the story of Clara, a young woman who has raised her younger, unpredictable brother Dan, since the death of their parents. Whilst they have a sometimes difficult brother-sister relationship, Clara has tried her hardest to fill the void left behind. They have a deep love for each other, even when she can't keep Dan on the straight and narrow. She's on the cusp of achieving her goals to become a professional boxer when one of Dan’s shady dealings catches up with him, and he’s killed on their estate. As the grief threatens to overcome her she starts to shut down, isolating herself from the outside world and her upcoming boxing match which was meant to be the start of her’s, and Dan’s, new beginning. When she listens to a voicemail from Dan, it allows her to begin to mourn and brings her back to to the present, but not before she confronts Dan’s best friend, Kyle, and, most importantly, her own grief.
