Short Narrative Film | VFX Artist

Dealing with both physical & mental strain, Andrew questions his ability to father when his partner, Madeline, decides to move on, leaving him to care for their son, Nathaniel. Breaking Character explores personal growth, trauma, & responsibility & challenges the conventional ideas of fatherhood.
