The sci-fi short film TRIAL tells the story of Aaron, a solider grievously wounded in battle, who has given up his will to live.

Due to the war's low recruitment numbers and high casualty rate, a mysterious doctor (Ana Ularu), visits Aaron in the hospital to inform him she will heal him via an experimental medical procedure.

The experiment seems successful as Aaron awakens to find he has a new, healthy (and handsome) body.  However, he quickly learns the dark secret behind the procedure - as well as the price he must pay for his new vitality.

Written and directed by filmmakers The Brothers Lynch, TRIAL is captivating sci-fi from start to finish.

The film successfully marries its provocative premise with terrific cast performances. Of special note, Joseph Mawle (Game of Thrones) and Tom Cullen shine as wounded Aaron and new Aaron respectively.

The film also boasts a highly polished, atmospheric look due to its exceptional cinematography and overall production design.
