Halfway Down Short Film:
Logline:
20-year-old Michael must confront his own mortality at a friend’s party.
Short Synopsis:
20-year-old Michael is under the influence at a friend’s party. He enters the party house to find that everyone has disappeared apart from his best friend Eve. Michael tries to talk to Eve about them drifting apart, which ends with Eve challenging his indulgent choices at parties. Michael becomes suspicious that no one else is around and investigates, finding himself in a black void, and Eve disappears into smoke. Michael realises he is dying and enters a hallway with a vision of him dying at the end of it. Michael embraces his death as he walks towards the white light at the end of the hallway.

Arts in the MediaJoshua Prendeville: Building an Audience on Boosted
Accomplished Filmmaker Joshua Prendeville first came to Boosted in order to help with funding his 2024 Film 'The House Within,' documenting the life and work of 2026 Katherine Mansfield Menton Fellow Dame Fiona Kidman. Since then he has gone on to direct an adaptation of Katherine Mansfield's 'The Garden Party,' that was also funded in part through Boosted. His latest project is 'Earthly Shadows,' a short film adaptation of the award-winning story by Fiona Kidman. For Joshua, Boosted has become a more than just a funding avenue, it's a way to bring his audience onboard at the start of a film's journey and bring that crowd along with him. Joshua was kind enough to share with us his experiences and lessons learned from growing his audience on Boosted, and how he aims to bring them on a journey with his latest project, 'Earthly Shadows.'18 May 2026 -
