KRISHA TRAILER - short film from trey shults on Vimeo.
Following a prolonged battle with addiction and self-destruction, Krisha, the black sheep of the family she abandoned, returns for a holiday celebration. But what begins as a moving testament to the family’s capacity to forgive soon spirals into a deluge of emotional bloodletting, as old wounds are torn open, and resentments are laid bare.
"This film actually started back in the summer of 2012, when I was trying to make my first feature. It turned out that I had overestimated the amount of resources and support available to me, and I wouldn’t be able to pull off what I had envisioned. It was the worst week of my life. Ironically, I had a nervous breakdown, similar to the main character in the film." (Trey Edward Shults)
