Regrets about your relationships with your parents come to the fore for one such young man in the new comedy-drama short SEANCE.

Matthew (Charlie Robb) schedules an appointment with medium Mystic Mike (Douglas Tawn) with a wish to speak with his mother who perished in a recent car accident alongside his father. When she isn’t available, Matthew learns about a few nagging realities from his present father who is about to go out with some supernatural socialites and the seemingly uncomfortable truth….

Darkly comic and satisfyingly grounded supernatural short, written and directed by Robb and Tawn which holds the attention and reflects on family relationships when they could be at their nadir. Atmospheric cinematography and music add to the flavour.
