About
subsequent to.
subsequent to. is a short film that centers around two sisters who survive a high school mass shooting, closely following the pair and their mother as the three of them navigate the evening after this chilling event. Though traumatized and distraught, the sisters and their mother are fortunate in their anguish. Amidst this family's most somber moments, poignant interruptions serve as a reminder to viewers that many families grapple with a dual burden of grief, not only mourning the tragic incident itself, but also contending with the profound loss of a loved one. These interruptions underscore the unsettling reality that, within the context of a mass shooting, merely navigating survival is the comparatively fortunate scenario.
The film aims to provide an unbiased and organic perspective of what over 300,000 American students have been forced to navigate and offers a short look at what their experience might have looked like. The hope is that this perspective will affect people and mobilize unlikely audiences to take action.
