"Sweetheart" A short film

A short film written and directed by Michael Heffernan

Sweetheart tells the story of a woman who has chosen a path in life that frequently leads to mental torment and physical damage. In her most difficult moments she depends on a man who obsessively pushes her to follow his demands.

This film is a collaboration with a team of very talented people. Ian Phillips-McLaren does stellar work behind the camera as DOP and in the edit suite. Jacquline Freeman (represented by MOT models) in the lead role plays Sweetheart with a conviction that belies the fact that this is her first acting role. Cherrelle Brown's role is pivotal in the final scenes and Laura Marsh did a wonderful job with grooming and make-up special effects. A special thanks to "I am Harlequin" for the fantastic sound track. http://iamharlequin.com/ and also to Don and Tom for assisting.
