COPELESS
Born into the tumult of a politician’s household, the son grapples with profound guilt, haunted by the memory of not shielding his mother from the relentless abuse inflicted by his alcoholic father. As he matures, the burden intensifies, prompting a soul-searching quest for reconciliation. Struggling to reconcile his love for his mother with the pain inflicted by his father, he navigates a complex emotional landscape. In this poignant journey, he confronts the scars of familial trauma, seeking healing and understanding, determined to break the cycle of abuse and find solace amidst the shadows cast by his father’s destructive legacy.
About Jaskaran Singh
Originally from New Jersey and now residing in Toronto, Jaskaran, a seasoned screenwriter since the age of fifteen, faced a delayed acknowledgment of his craft by his parents at family gatherings. Over the past five years, he has undertaken the roles of writer, director, and producer for various short films, including “A TURBAN & A BEARD,” a docu-drama shedding light on Sikh hate crimes in America post-9/11; “ME|HER,” a South Asian romantic dramedy exploring the complexities of friendship and emotions over a decade; and “COPELESS,” a psychological drama delving into generational trauma, guilt, and grief. Jaskaran’s feature script “JERSEY BOY” achieved Quarterfinalist status in The Academy Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting 2022, earned a spot on The CAPE List 2021 (curated by The Black List), and clinched victory in the 2020 Whistler Film Festival’s Power Pitch Competition.
