The Empties
Two teenagers. Two houses. One night.
Mia is fifteen and invisible at her stepsister's birthday party — bullied online, ignored at home, falling apart in plain sight. Jack is sixteen, clearing up empty bottles left by his grief-drunk dad in a house full of his late mother's instruments.
Neither of them is seen. Neither of them is heard.
Until they find each other — through a garden fence, through song — and end up somewhere no adult knows exists.
The Empties is a short musical film about the things teenagers carry when no one's looking. About grief and cruelty and loneliness. And about what happens when two people who feel completely alone realise they aren't.
The music is already written. The songs are recorded. Now we need to make the film.
