The Forgotten
Everything you've experienced, everything you've known... never happened.
Directed by Joseph Ruben
Produced by Visual Arts Entertainment, Revolution Studios
A dark, paranoia-soaked thriller about a grieving mother's desperate fight to prove her son existed when everyone—including her own mind—tells her he never did.
Telly Paretta is a grieving mother struggling to cope with the loss of her 9-year-old son. She is stunned when her psychiatrist reveals that she has created nine years of memories about a son she never had. But when she remembers a man who had a similar experience, Telly embarks on a search to prove her son's existence, and her sanity.
