A trailer for my first short film, Maharishi, made in 2008 in Newcastle in the UK. This film was funded by Northern Film and Media and the UK Film Council.

It was shot entirely green screen on a Sony EX1, edited in FCP and composited and graded in After Effects.

In a dark and rainy nameless city, a man haunted by visions of violence and grieving over the disappearance of his wife, meets a mysterious blind stranger. Together, these two men must journey through this dark night and peel back the layers of lies and violence to discover the truth no matter how disturbing it may be.
