'Only Once'

Casting "Only Once," a character-driven short film that unfolds across two timelines, following Damien, a quiet, observant boy growing up with a self-absorbed mother, and his adult self, burdened by memories he never fully processed. The film explores childhood trauma, denial, and emotional neglect, all building to a devastating revelation. Told with minimal dialogue, powerful visuals, and a subtle horror edge, the story is meant to linger with the viewer long after it ends.
