Fell Out
Of Love

A short film by Ben Graham Smith

It happens to the best of us.

Domestic thriller · 15 min · Vancouver, BC

01 — The story

A weekend away. No service. Nowhere to hide.

Love does not always leave quietly.

Matt and Rose are a married couple at a crossroads. Hoping to heal old wounds, Matt takes Rose deep into the wilderness for a weekend camping trip. There is only the two of them, their history, and the forest.

Then Matt disappears. As night closes in, Rose is left alone with the cold, the silence, and a terrifying thought: perhaps he has not gotten lost at all.

02 — The vision

Haunting. Beautiful. Unforgiving.

The wilderness is the third lead.

Played straight

Dark comedy, horror, thriller, and domestic drama meet without winking at the camera.

Close, even apart

In a 1.85 frame, the vast landscape heightens the intimate pressure between two people who cannot escape each other.

Silence has weight

Wind, birds, distant wolves, and the unease of near-total quiet create a soundscape that keeps the audience listening.

03 — The couple

Built through rehearsal. Played with truth.

Dasha Kittredge as Rose
A veteran of Los Angeles interactive theater and television, Dasha brings the range and emotional precision Rose demands.

Ben Graham Smith as Matt
Writer, director, and actor Ben returns to performance with a story made to hold the camera close.
