COVERS is an 11-minute psychological drama that explores the fragile boundaries of trust, love, and secrecy within a marriage. Directed by British filmmaker Charles Celestin and produced by CAMMAC Productions, the film follows Mya and Lewis, a married couple whose anniversary night takes a dark and unexpected turn. What begins as a quiet evening of celebration in a hotel room quickly descends into a tense emotional battlefield when hidden truths are mysteriously exposed.
Set almost entirely within the intimate space of a bedroom, COVERS transforms a place of closeness into a warzone. The film unfolds as a slow-burning confrontation, where every glance, pause, and line of dialogue carries the weight of years of unresolved resentment and buried guilt. As secrets are dragged into the open, Mya and Lewis are forced to face not only each other, but themselves. The question that hangs over the night is simple and devastating: can a relationship survive the truth?
“The film is designed to continue long after the credits roll…”
At its core, COVERS is a martial drama about what happens when the versions of ourselves we present to our partners finally collapse. It explores the universal fear of being truly known, and the terrifying possibility that honesty might destroy everything we have built. The film is deliberately claustrophobic, using tension, suspense, and romance to keep the audience locked inside the emotional pressure cooker of a crumbling marriage.
Mya is played by Yasmin Branch, a Rose Bruford-trained actress whose performance brings vulnerability, rage, and emotional precision to a woman pushed to her breaking point. Lewis is portrayed by Miles Jones, who previously appeared in SKY’s Pennyworth Season 1. Together, they deliver a raw and volatile two-hander that drives the film’s escalating intensity and psychological realism.
The story was written and directed by Charles Celestin, who describes the central idea as “hidden secrets exposed in front of the person you are trying to hide them from — the most frightening and exhilarating moments in life.” While heightened and dramatic in its execution, COVERS reflects a deeply relatable truth: every long-term relationship contains silences, compromises, and concealed parts of ourselves that we hope will never be uncovered.
Produced by a small but passionate micro-crew, COVERS is designed to provoke thought as much as entertainment. Every prop, performance, and visual choice is carefully constructed to heighten the sense of unease and emotional danger. It is a short film that asks its audience to reflect on their own relationships, their own secrets, and the cost of living behind emotional masks.
As the night unfolds and the truth cuts deeper, one question remains: will their relationship last until morning?
