Left Behind is an experimental 10 minutes short film prepared from scratch in one week and shot in one day.

It wasn't initially meant to become an actual short film, my purpose was to create only one scene to enrich my demo-reel / showreel. That is why the story doesn't have a real plot, it's merely images, moments of this lost soldier's life. This tale is based on the historical events of Hannibal's crossing of the Alps in 218 BC, one of the major events of the Second Punic War. I focused my narrative on one soldier of Hannibal's army who due to a serious head injury wasn't able to keep up with the rest anymore, so he, just like hundreds of soldiers each day, was left behind, most of whom died quickly. Hamilicar Mahab (my character) managed to survive yet got lost within the depth of the mountains.
