Pariah - Student Film

'Pariah' is a Gritty coming-of-age 10-minute short film that follows Leto, a quiet teen who films the chaotic lives of his reckless friends.

This film follows a group of reckless young men whose night of thrill-seeking and chaos spirals out of control. What starts as a petty act of intimidation turns into a series of violent, impulsive decisions fuelled by ego, drugs, and the desperate need to feel alive. Through the lens of Leto’s ever-present camcorder, we see a gradual unravelling of not just the night, but of his identity as he collides with the consequences of his choices. Beneath the surface of adrenaline and bravado, the story becomes a haunting reflection on lost innocence, self-destruction, and the thin line between becoming someone and becoming nothing.
