10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY CAMPAIGN!
Fragile Storm is an award-winning short film from filmmaker Dawn Fields, now preparing for its long-awaited 10-Year Anniversary wide public release.
With more than 40 festival selections, nominations, and awards, including a recent win at the Chandler International Film Festival, the film stars Golden Globe nominee Lance Henriksen.
After a decade on the festival circuit, Fragile Storm will finally premiere publicly this spring, introducing the film to a global audience for the first time.
This isn’t just a re-release. It’s a second life for a story that still matters. See perks below.
STORY
Fragile Storm opens with a frightened young woman being held captive by a terrifying older man.
However, as the story unfolds, the audience comes to understand the heartbreaking reality of who she is… and why she’s really there.
It’s a powerful story about a promise made in love… and the devastating lengths one man will go to keep it.
