1. 'Fostered' Pitch:
The following trailer, 'Fostered' focuses on a young boy called Israel. Throughout his
entire life, Israel has had a difficult upbringing with his mother and grew up separated
from his sister, Gabriella. Because of his mother's condition, she failed to cater to his
simple needs resulting in Israel being handed to Social Services, desperate to be in the
hands of someone who will finally show love towards him.
Five months later, Israel is now in the hands of a young women called Aisha Rahim. She
instantly welcomes him with kindness, a feeling he has never experienced with his
parents before. In addition to this, Israel also find himself spending quality time with his
new foster mum, something he never used to do with his mum however, one day,
everything changes when he comes across a photo of his deceased sister, Gabriella, in
his foster mother's living room.
By a tender age of three, Gabriella was taken to live with Israel's father while he stayed
with his mother since their mother could not bare to not be around none of her kids
despite her condition. On the other hand, Israel was unaware of his father's
mistreatment towards Gabriella, causing Gabriella to be fostered by Israel's same foster
mother, Aisha Rahim.
Aisha has since lived in frustration when her husband left her because she is infertile
meaning she has never had the chance to raise her own kids, hence the reason why
fostering is her only chance to find the parental experience she always wanted. It
allowed her to have a chance of raising kids the way she would like them to be raised
but if she felt her discipline was being challenged, she would feel weak, threatened and
like a bad mother, overall making her angry. Gabriella was Aisha's first foster child who
died in her own hands. Her death is something Aisha has always kept a secret but is
willing to forget with her new Foster child Israel.
Unfortunately, as soon as Israel lays his eyes on the picture of his sister, he feels
Gabriella's presence around him. The feeling of her presence results in Israel to hear her
voice at night and even see her. However, when Aisha comes face to face with her
deceased foster daughter she instantly reaches out to the social worker, desperate to
find out if Gabriella is Israel's sister. She is.
At this precise moment, Gabriella's spirit is lurking in and out of Israel's soul, converting
his views on his new foster mum and changing his attitude towards her over a course of
actions. However, despite all of this, Gabriella wants to have the last say, and does this
through physical appearances, proving how Aisha may have killed her, but Gabriella will
never leave her home without killing her herself, for the sake of her brother, Israel.
