In 2086, after nearly seventy years of humanity living in total invisibility, the sudden reappearance of a few individuals fractures society once more—forcing one "Invisible" to navigate fear, connection, and identity in a world that no longer knows how to be seen. "Visible" by Clay Delauney Starring Henry Ian Cusick and Sonya Walger from the ABC hit series "LOST" 📶 Connect with the Filmmakers: https://www.visiblemovie.com/ https://www.claydelauney.com/ https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6556895/ 🎥 More About "Visible": Set in a futuristic world where humanity mysteriously became invisible decades ago, Visible follows a reclusive artist known only as Guy. In this society, people exist unseen unless they are physically detected by technology—sensors, implants, and systems that track their movements and maintain order after a past era of chaos and anarchy. Guy has grown comfortable living unseen. He runs a small art gallery, creating work that reflects his inner thoughts, while avoiding true emotional exposure. In this world, being "visible" is rare and deeply significant—those who fully express their authentic selves in front of others physically reappear and remain seen. Everything changes when a visibly pregnant woman enters Guy’s gallery. She is one of the few "visibles," someone who has embraced her true identity without fear. Their conversation challenges Guy’s worldview, chiefly when she reveals that visibility is a choice—one rooted in courage and self-acceptance. Inspired and unsettled, Guy confronts his own fear of being truly seen. Through his art, he begins to express his authentic self for the first time. When the woman returns, Guy unveils a new painting titled "Self Portrait". In that moment of vulnerability and honesty, he becomes visible—transforming not just physically, but emotionally. Visible explores themes of identity, authenticity, fear, and human connection, ultimately suggesting that true existence comes from the courage to be seen. 🎬 Director’s Statement: I like movies where we never leave the main character’s side. I don’t want to get ahead of them. I want to be two steps behind. Don’t let me catch up until the end. It doesn’t need to be tied up in a pretty little bow. I just want to discover/grow/ache/flourish with the hero. Visible was a script where I could step into those shoes for a few short moments and journey along with the protagonist. It’s a movie with my favorite advisory: oneself. 🎞️ About the Film: Clay Delauney - Director / Producer Andrea Snider - Writer / Producer Henry Ian Cusick - Producer Brian Snider - Composer Eric Gustavo Petersen - Cinematographer Dan Kremer - Sound Designer Clay Delauney - Editor / VFX Andrea Snider - Production Designer Carrie Christine - Hair / Makeup / Wardrobe Kai De Mello-Folsom - First Assistant Director Mike Maliwanag - Gaffer Devin Hassan - Key Grip Stephen Branagan - Best Boy James Sowka - Electrician AJ Young - First Assistant Camera Ian Galloway - Production Assistant Cast: Henry Ian Cusick Sonya Walger Connect with DUST: Website 🌐: http://www.watchdust.com Follow Us on Facebook 👍: https://www.facebook.com/watchdust/ Follow Us on Instagram 📷: https://www.instagram.com/watchdust/ Follow us on TikTok 📱: https://www.tiktok.com/@watch_dust #DUST #scifi #shortfilm Submit Your Short Film: https://filmfreeway.com/alterdustsubmissions NOTE: Only completed shorts will be considered.
