Duplicity

A “Shutterworks” FILM
WRITTEN BY Benny Tan, Ian Mardon, Juntao Chen

Jasper, left with a vague message from his recently deceased mother, grows to see his beliefs in his divine calling - a journey that breaks his unadulterated Catholic upbringing and leads him through the darkest paths to the future.

Strange noises. Lurid reflections. The first pieces of the puzzle are starting to come together as Catholic schoolboy, Jasper Dishon, is forced to realise that to uncover the truth whilst upholding his personal moral code, he must place doubt in everything he was ever conditioned to believe in. First the suspicious death of his mother, then the persistent whisperings of her eerie voice and to add to that, the erratic appearances of that strange man, whom he’s strangely recognised from his early childhood, all playing part in one increasingly intricate puzzle.

Jasper remembers the day he stepped into the convent - a school as isolated as his hometown;
cold and distrusting. It was this place where he spent the last six years of his life, brought up in the truths that were blind to the outside light of the world.

Upon the death of his mother, Jasper receives a vague message; one which he soon perceives to be his divine calling. Evaluating everything from strange articles in the minister’s office to the  increasingly peculiar newcomer at the convent, Jasper breaks out with his trusted friends, John & Peter, to explore the world in chase of his calling; a calling that stirs up the murky past and consigns Jasper into the darkest imaginable realms.

A psychological thriller; Jasper embroils himself into a conspiracy, much higher than his own being, which leads to one question: What is seen out there, can be seen in the mind, or is what’s seen in the mind, can be seen out there?
