Private Project

Clairvoyant

Haunted by an eerie image of a young girl, Angela struggles as she deals with her visions alone. Clairvoyant revolves around the story of Angela’s family as they navigate life through the pandemic, poverty, and the unexplained elements haunting their family.
A frustrated faith healer, Angela’s father always encourages her to embrace her “gift” and acknowledge what she sees. Still unable to speak at the age of ten, Angela is left helpless as she is forced to face the elements as it comes to her every so often. It turns out they are against something more dangerous than the elements, which is ignorance.
