CAMERA OBSCURA
By Shawn Day

GENRE: Mystery, Independent
LOGLINE:

A bored photographer purchases a camera and discovers its mystical properties. When trying to untangle its mysteries, he gets sucked into a world of obsession and dread.

SYNOPSIS:

A bored photographer visits his family home, but his parents have been gone for two weeks; he awaits their arrival. He wants to escape the mundaneness of the family visit, and so goes downtown to purchase a camera. The camera, it seems, has mystical powers that insert grotesque figures into the final picture that weren’t there in real life. The figures seem familiar to the photographer and prompt him to take more pictures to try and remember why they seem familiar. He obsessively fixates on the morphed figures in the photos to untangle and understand the mystery behind the camera. After being swallowed into a world of obsession and dread, he ultimately realizes that the camera reproduces moments from his past, and once he regains these memories, he relives his final moments on earth when a raven pecked out his eyes.
