Three Thousand (2017)

THREE THOUSAND is a short film by writer/director Frank Piripitsi. The film brings together two strangers. Tracy is a young woman running from her past, who is sought out by Adam, an 11-year old boy beaten and adrift. Adam is a mystery to us, as he is to Tracy. All we know, is that he needs to go 'home'. A strange tattoo on Adam's lip is their only guide. Circumstance brings them together, their destinies more profoundly connected than either had imagined. At its core, THREE THOUSAND focuses on the empathy required for the attainment of true self worth. Exploring the devastation of abject relationships, the film itself takes a cyclical form. The familiar, yet slightly surreal world of THREE THOUSAND, edges the film towards science fiction.
