OUT OF THE FIRE

A firefighter is haunted by the silent burden of an unresolved tragedy. Devoted to saving others, he must finally confront the one rescue he has always avoided - his own.

​

Created after Maximilian Curnow lost a close friend and firefighting colleague to suicide, the film was made without a conventional budget or crew, using tripods, friends, his former fire crew and their fire engine.

Developed through lived experience and more than a decade of research and consultation, the drama is grounded in the psychological reality behind the uniform. It serves as a proof of concept for the feature-length version
