SHORT FILMS

Demi Anais' film, 'Vodou' (2023) is currently seeking wider distribution. Demi is also concurrently in the financing stage of development for her next short, a Sci-Fi Drama titled 'Memory Walk'.

MEMORY WALK (DEVELOPMENT)

SCI-FI DRAMA

After suddenly losing her father, Romi must choose between a promising track career or getting lost in her own memories of him.


Writer, Director, & Producer: Demi Anais


'Memory Walk' centers on Romi, a track star whose reality is rocked when she suddenly loses her father. Despite the friends and family that attempt to be there for her, and an athletic scholarship that awaits her, Romi is unable to accept his loss.


A SCI-FI DRAMA EXPLORING GRIEF, AVOIDANCE, AND ADDICTION


Romi instead turns to a machine that allows her to relive her most cherished memories with her dad. Though she seems content to leave her grief behind and instead live in the past, Romi is soon confronted with the fact that her future very much hinges on her being present.
