Synopsis:
This 10 minute short film tells the story of Arthur, a disfigured man leading a lonely life. One day,
a beautiful young woman named Roselin moves in across the hall. Arthur spies on her through
a peephole and gets caught. Much to his surprise Roselin isn’t put off by his appearance and
the two start off an unexpected friendship. The story evolves into a beautifully written tale of
love and acceptance as Arthur goes on to discover that Roselin has scars of her own, that were
always beneath the surface.
CHARACTER BIOS:
Arthur:
-Early-mid 20s, short, caucasian, medium build.
-Bio: Arthur is a quiet, lonely man who keeps to himself in his apartment. He almost never
goes out, but when he does he covers up his face to conceal his scar. He’s a tortured artist
with very little confidence. He had a work-place accident in the past. He tried to save a
friend and ended up physically burned because of it. He still struggles with being able to
accept himself as he is.
Roselin:
-Early-mid 20s, average height, average weight/slim fit, caucasian, girl next door-vibe/look.
-Bio: Roselyn is a vibrant and outgoing girl next door. She’s a loving and caring artist, but
she also has a shield up. Her father was abusive toward her when she was a child and
therefore is stand-off-ish upon first meeting people. Her father tried to burn her alive while
he was drunk. 30% of her body is scarred which is hidden by her clothing. This has caused
much emotional damage, but she has since then grown stronger because of it.
