Quiet hours

Official selection for best feature script, LA Fantasy festival. Quiet Hours follows Molly, a young woman shaped by cult violence, neglect, and obsessive rules, as she attempts to impose order on her fractured inner life through ritual and control. Convinced she’s following a higher design, she abducts Lewis, an emotionally vacant loner, who seems perfectly suited to disappear without consequence.
As days pass in enforced closeness, Molly’s certainty erodes. Lewis is not afraid, not pleading, and not behaving like a victim. Instead, he reflects her own emptiness back at her, destabilizing the rituals meant to keep her safe. Therapy sessions, childhood memories, and fractured loyalties blur together as the line between captor and captive dissolves. In the end, Quiet Hours becomes less about violence than about two broken people circling the same questions: can meaning exist without cruelty, and whether silence is safety or surrender.
