What We See: An immersive story about the journey from self-denial to self-acceptance.

Hi there, we are Kayla Hunia (Director) and Priscilla Tho (Producer) and together we're creating a short film as part of our final project at Auckland University of Technology. We're in our third year, majoring in film and television, and we're so excited about this project. With your help, our dreams can come true.

What We See is an abstract story of a young woman, Eva, learning to accept the truth of her past and the darkness within her. As she tries to live her normal life, we see her relationship with her father becoming more strained; and she starts getting haunted by a faceless being. As the story progresses further, we learn that not everything is as it seems. This film is of the psycho-thriller genre with horror elements within it, causing viewers to think about themselves and what it means to be truly self-accepting.

This project is very special to Kayla and I, as our whole degree has led up to it. We started talking about producing a horror/thriller two years ago, so to be able to fulfil that desire is an amazing feeling. Kayla draws from many inspirations, most of them being films that are metaphorical and open to interpretation. We're looking forward to creating this short film that explores the idea that to live in denial means to live in turmoil; and to be able to move on and grow as an individual, is to accept what is currently happening.

Any support from you would be greatly appreciated. We want to make this film the best that it can, so any donation or even sharing this link with family and friends would bring us one step closer to our goal.
