Berserk

In a world where faded fame flickers like a dying marquee, a once‑celebrated actor whose glory days feel like distant applause teams up with a writer whose manuscripts gather more dust than attention. Elliot carries the weight of former stardom, while Mara wrestles with the relentless grind of trying to break through. Together they embark on an ambitious venture: a zombie‑themed film that promises to resurrect both their careers and the pulse of their creativity.

The project becomes a crucible for their partnership, blending restless energy with the gritty realities of low‑budget filmmaking. Their collaboration is charged with a mix of sharp humor and underlying tension, as each brings a contrasting vision—Elliot’s charismatic swagger against Mara’s earnest, if beleaguered, storytelling. The setting shimmers with the neon glow of a film set that feels simultaneously hopeful and precarious, hinting at the thin line between artistic breakthrough and personal collapse.

Amid the frantic rush of scripts, auditions, and on‑set improvisations, a reckless prank sets off a chain of unsettling consequences. The incident forces the duo into a desperate dance of concealment, where the urgency to protect their dream clashes with an uneasy awareness of mortality. As they scramble to keep the project afloat, the shadows of their doubts and fears begin to loom larger than the imagined monsters on screen.

The tone oscillates between darkly comic and quietly tense, capturing the surreal blend of ambition and anxiety that defines creative resurrection. Through the haze of cameras and the echo of misplaced jokes, Elliot and Mara confront the fragile nature of their aspirations, discovering that the real horror may lie not in the undead they aim to conjure, but in the fragile, unpredictable canvas of their own lives.
