When Debbie meets Mark, he seems like everything she's been searching for. Attentive, successful, and just mysterious enough to be intriguing. But as their relationship deepens, she begins to notice small inconsistencies. The late night calls he never explains. The business trips that don't quite add up. The friends he never introduces. Then one evening, Debbie receives a strange message from Mark. Short, urgent, and out of character. Before she can even process it, the message disappears. This message was deleted. From that moment, everything changes. His stories start to blur. His warmth feels rehearsed. And as Debbie begins to dig into who Mark really is, she uncovers something far darker than a lie. A truth that's been watching her all along.*This entry is participating in the ReelShort Reel Vertical Impact contest

Hi! My name is Adam Henry Garcia and I am an actor, video editor and producer. I have 4 Emmy's, 3 Indie Series Awards, 1 Webby, 1 Telly and a partridge in a pear tree. I love making independent streaming content which brings us to this submission: "Fairytale Fallout". It is a dark comedy show divided into parts and (hopefully) worth your valuable internet video watching time. Below is the official synopsis for the show. Thanks for taking a look!! -- Fairytale Fallout gives voice to numerous characters who have either been taken for granted or have been ignored entirely. In a series of short episodes this crafty and creative series tells the stories of those affected by classic fairytale characters, and not for the better. All of these characters are now, finally, being given the chance to speak... and they ALL have something to say. We are able to put names to faces that have barely been a background blur up until now and the results are downright dark-comedy gold! Filled with the bitter, the sweet, the high and the low... At the end of the day this show is a love letter to the ignored. An olive branch to the day player. A series for anyone who has ever felt relegated to the background of someone else's fairytale.*This entry is participating in the ReelShort Reel Vertical Impact contest
