Daughter

Project description:

“Daughter” is a short film written by Jane Warner that I was commissioned to do the concept boards for.
The film was part of the Northern Ireland Screen 2006 “Digital Shorts Programme”.

The story focuses on Alison, a single mother, and her fixation to find a suitable partner. But as the film progresses, we see that things aren’t as they seem when her young daughter Dora starts to intervene.

Alison leaves the nursery murmuring “I need to be a mother again, you’re gone now pet”
As the door closes we notice the deathly pale figure of Dora veiled in the shadows.
