Bleached

Admitting to yourself is one thing,
acting on it is another.

The Story

Aella escapes to her island home for the summer in search of reconnection. As summer nights with old friends slip from hedonism to destruction, Aella awakens to her mess.

Set against the deceptively idyllic backdrop of Jersey, Bleached is a compassionate exposure of youth and addiction. A raw coming-of-age drama about the courage it takes to face yourself.

More Than a Film

We believe in the power of storytelling to build empathy and create meaningful social impact, particularly around the realities of youth addiction. Bleached seeks to partner with charities whose values align with the film.
