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

The Final Check-in The argument started like any other, late night frustration, a dropped call, and a simple denial from Liam. But for Sophie, the quiet sound of a laugh right before the line went dead was the undeniable crack in his carefully constructed lie. Now, every subsequent text exchange, every denial, every placating word, only escalates her suspicion that Liam isn't just cheating, he's concealing a truth far more dangerous. Trapped in a digital echo chamber of their history, Sophie desperately pushes for proof, unaware that her ultimatum, If you're alone, prove it, will unleash a torrent of evidence and chilling confessions that reveal Liam is not just with another person, but that the stakes of his secrecy extend far beyond a shattered relationship. The conversation that follows will turn an argument about trust into a frantic race for survival, all unfolding in the unforgiving, public glare of their private chat history.*This entry is participating in the ReelShort Reel Vertical Impact contest
