Trailer
Director's Statement (The Cremer Brothers)
“Forgotten” was written during a time when we were exploring the feelings of grief. We asked the question:
What would happen if you took the grieving processes past the point of acceptance and all the way to point of forgetting. The film ended up being a sentimental drama with supernatural elements. The entire film is metaphorical with the physical representation of Mary Ann representing her brother’s memory of her. This is the reason why Mary Ann's skin becomes more flesh colored as the film progresses: Evan is giving new life to Mary Ann's memory. It was written as a way of dealing with the loss of their own sister.

Facts
This is the second of three short films co-produced by Outtake Productions and JoeBert Entertainment in 2018 (the other two are The Angry Man and Play Date).
Director Cameo: The Cremer Brothers can be seen in the first photograph shown in the photo album.
The house where the film was shot was also used as the set for Play Date. It also housed the cast and crew for both productions.
After wrapping, production immediately began on Play Date.
Lianna Morra played two roles in the same weekend, starring as Mary Ann and also as Amy in Play Date.
Arnie Rodriguez and Austin Green were cast due to their incredible performances in God's Law and their likability on set.
