Reparation

Prominent Forensic Psychologist Terrence Barnett specializes in rehabilitation of felons, one day he comes across an interesting case when interviewing suspecting culprit Alfred Creed. Creed, in a spiteful attempt, is responsible for an attack on Citizen’s National Bank for costing him everything he worked hard for. As the interview plot thickens, Terrence must determine if Alfred is in need of true rehabilitation or punishable incarceration. Fishy details of Alfred's story prompts Terrence to investigate the matter even more. With Alfred on the hook for crimes against humanity, Terrence stands to be his only solace for true Reparation.

Director Biography - Braelen Washington

What I’m trying to accomplish with this film is shed light on topics that go tremendously overlooked in today's society. By achieving this through Writing and Directing, it gives audiences a total sense of realism, in a world of right versus wrong.

In this film, I implemented certain camera choices and sounds to build a feeling of curiosity. By intercutting between the past and present, this film is able to captivate various intimate topics regarding: Incarcerated rehabilitation, racism, the empowerment of fatherhood at a young age, and Police brutality.

My objective was to shed light on my subjects from script to the screen. The journey to accomplish this film has been a test to determine my abilities as a Filmmaker, in bridging the dual roles of Writer and Director. I'm confident that audiences will be able to grasp this form of content, in a way that navigates from the societal norm.
