PESADILLA

a film by Mariana Acosta Burns
PRE- PRODUCTION

After attending a Women's Day protest, an anxious young woman drifts into a restless sleep while waiting on her best friend’s text, only to be terrorized by nightmares where she’s stalked and attacked— a surreal reflection of her deepest fears.

LA PEOR PESADILLA DE TODAS SIGUE SIENDO LA REALIDAD DE MUCHAS

Characters

Valeria and Paloma are best friends in their early 20's who live on opposite sides of the city. While Valeria’s anxiety contrasts with Paloma’s optimism, their friendship is a source of strength, reflecting the solidarity of women navigating a dangerous world.
