The Story
Everyone is going to die.
But for Miranda, she discovers that this is not true. In this film, we explore the psyche of someone that just discovered she is immortal. Suddenly, the world is much larger for Miranda. She has stepped into a maze of uncertainty. What is she? Where did she come from? What is she supposed to do?
Everyone has a purpose.
This is what Soren believed. After being barraged daily by a voice in his head that insists his only purpose is to kill, Soren’s worldview is shattered when his first victim is unable to die. And the two of them are stuck together, in the vast expanse of the California desert.
There are several strangers to meet along the way. A man in a rabbit suit that grieves for his family. A wanderer with a stuffed fox with a strange prophecy to tell. A woman haunted by a copious amount of dead cats. What do all these strangers want with Miranda, and are we sure they are even human?
This is a story about the mysteries of death and the unpredictability of life. It’s an exploration of human connection and how we can overcome our greatest fears. It is a strange story that will leave you with many things to think about and discuss.
Writer’s statement:
Miranda Veil is a very personal story for me. My writing usually comes from my personal fears. I want to share this story in order to give others a chance to overcome these same fears and hopefully realize that there is still mystery in this world. I’m terrified of dying. I’m scared of losing control in my life. I’m afraid of feeling isolated with no sense of identity. I’m sure many of you share these fears.
In a less serious matter, I was sick of seeing immortal characters that just act like boring jerks. I wanted to give this miraculous ability to a character I actually felt deserved to live forever. Miranda is an example of the power of human empathy. She is someone that can give us hope for the future.
