Aaron and Reese

Aaron
A man frozen by grief and memory. Aaron lives in the past, clinging to a love that defined him. His silence speaks louder than words, and the few he does say echo with meaning and loss.

Reese
A memory. A whisper. A past lover who returns through flashbacks and imagination. Reese is warmth, mischief, and affection, but also the painful reminder of what can no longer be touched.on.


Synopsis

Aaron is lost in memory. Surrounded by the quiet of his bedroom, he clutches a photo and a folded letter. What unfolds is a quiet revisiting of his relationship with Reese, the woman he once loved and lost.

Through flashbacks, playful moments, and whispered truths, Aaron retraces their bond and slowly confronts what was taken and what was returned. WHISPER is a gentle but raw look at the way grief softens over time and how love, even when it ends, never really disappears.

FILM STILLS


"Love is something you never plan for; it simply happens. Love that is stolen or gone too soon leaves a wound that can never truly heal. True love is eternal; even if your loved one is gone, you can always hear them if you listen—if only as a whisper."
— L. Bentiné Jr.
