Voice over


Keaira: They think I’ve got schizophrenia, they’re wrong.... they’re all wrong. They just want to say I’m mad so they can get me. So they can hurt me. Do nasty things to me in the dark and lock me up. They’ll never get me alive. I won’t let them





Amber Valley - Written Storyboard


Main Plot overview: Protagonist Lily is embroiled in a passionate Lesbian love affair with fiery vixen Bella. Faced with one of the toughest decisions in her life, Lily has to choose between her current relationship with Corbin or the seemingly Over encumbered lust with Bella. No longer being able to handle the guilt Lily comes clean to Corbin about what she has done. After a few arguments heated arguments we then see Corbin walk over to the forest where we are led to presume he has committed suicide due to the revelations.
