"A shepherd lost in the shadows of his own past."

This Forlorn Shepherd is a stylized, non-linear descent into the psyche of a man grappling with extreme violence and a crisis of faith. Using the dramatic contrast of Chiaroscuro lighting and heavy religious iconography, the film explores the burden of guilt that no amount of prayer can wash away. It is a Southern Gothic tale of divine retribution, where the protagonist is trapped in a fever-dream loop of the trauma that broke him.
