TEARDROP

FILM SYNOPSIS
Written, directed, and produced by Mol Smith for Onview Films, Teardrop is a low-budget indie short film that examines the quiet devastation of grief, emotional isolation, and vulnerability. Centered on a deeply moving, intimate character study, the narrative explores the heavy psychological toll of loss as an individual struggles to process an overwhelming personal trauma.
