🎬 SUBMIT YOUR FILM ➔ https://shortverse.com/submit In this contemporary dark fable, a boy journeys through a nightmarish city to find a cure for his mom, as a dancing curse descends on him and his home. _Heaven is Nobody's_ Dir. Hector Prats The world of Heaven is Nobody’s is not immediately alien, and it is precisely this proximity to the recognisable that renders the film so unsettling; the most disturbing dystopias, after all, are those that feel only a step removed from our own reality. Here, the black-and-white cinematography – often employed as a stylistic flourish – functions instead to intensify the film’s pervasive sense of foreboding without severing its ties to the everyday. The production design, locations and costumes operate in a similar register, reinforcing an atmosphere of eerie familiarity that blurs the boundary between the viewer’s world and the nightmare realm the film conjures. - S/W Curator, Rob Munday FULL REVIEW: https://www.shortoftheweek.com/2025/12/18/heaven-is-nobodys/ *CREDITS* Starring Jaylen Stapleton as NARCISO Jodie Markell as HEKKA Roger Guenveur Smith as BIG MAN Bakary Diallo as KALEM and Hector Prats as TROFFEO Noah Namgoong, Connor Connolly, Khadim Thiam, Celine Rose Sutter, Frank Yan, Zefan Wang, John Baller, Junyue Wang, Amha Umoja as GANG KIDS Writer/Director Hector Prats Producer Heather Francis shot by persona.
