Pulpitum

noun, latin; to mean platform or staging

Pulpitum is a high-concept narrative short film; “Determined to find her missing sister, Claire investigates her small town’s mysterious church rituals and battles fragmented visions, cryptic encounters, ever-present surveillance, and a dangerously unorthodox society.”

A small town. A missing girl. A church's secrets. Everything is monitored. No one is safe.

Claire, 17, searches for her missing sister, Zoe, navigating her unorthodox cult's technological rituals and enigmatic leaders… all while questioning the reality she's been taught to believe.

When Claire's suspicion grows, she begins to investigate the cult's deepest secrets - searching for her sister in The Blind (their void-like training ground used by Rectors & Trainees). As she deciphers mysterious information and fragmented visions, Claire fights to uncover the truth about the cult's true intensions - and Zoe's fate...
