Behind the Scenes of Three Days: Bringing Jasmine McLeod's Vision to Life
Some of the most powerful stories don't need elaborate sets or big budgets. They just need an authentic voice, a talented team and the right people to help bring them to life.
That's part of what makes independent filmmaking so exciting.
Three Days, a psychological drama written and directed by Jasmine McLeod, explores grief, guilt and the complicated process of finding acceptance after tragedy.
At Troppical, we love opportunities to collaborate with creative people who have a story worth telling. Supporting Three Days was an opportunity to be part of a thoughtful independent film that puts human emotion and meaningful storytelling at the center.
A Story About What We Carry
Three Days follows two strangers whose lives are connected by tragedy.
Through a series of emotionally charged encounters, unresolved pain begins to surface, revealing the complexities of forgiveness and the human desire to make sense of loss.
The film explores difficult emotions through an intimate, character-driven narrative, allowing its story to unfold through the interactions between its central characters.
Written and directed by Jasmine McLeod, the film reflects her interest in the moments that often go unnoticed and the deeply human experiences that connect us.
Supporting an Independent Creative Vision
Independent film production requires a unique balance of creativity, coordination and resourcefulness.
With smaller teams and limited resources, every decision matters. From planning and preparation to the collaborative work that happens on set, bringing a short film to completion takes people who believe in the project.
For Three Days, Jackson Tropp joined the production as a producer while also appearing on screen as Michael, opposite Jasmine McLeod as Salem.
The collaboration brought together creative storytelling and practical production support, helping Jasmine move her vision from script to screen.
It's the kind of work we value at Troppical. Not every project needs a massive production company. Sometimes it needs a focused team, thoughtful planning and people who are willing to roll up their sleeves.
The Art of Doing More With Less
Completed in May 2026, Three Days runs just over 14 minutes.
Short films present an interesting creative challenge. Filmmakers have a limited amount of time to establish characters, develop tension and leave an emotional impression.
That means every scene, performance and production decision has to serve the story.
For independent productions, the challenge isn't simply working within constraints. It's finding creative ways to make those constraints work in service of the finished film.
Three Days is a reminder that meaningful storytelling doesn't depend on the scale of a production. It depends on the people, ideas and intention behind it.
Collaboration Is at the Heart of Good Production
One of the things we appreciate most about creative production is the opportunity to work with people who bring different perspectives and talents to a project.
Jasmine's approach to filmmaking prioritizes authenticity, emotional honesty and the subtle ways visual storytelling can communicate feelings that words sometimes cannot.
Supporting filmmakers with a distinct creative point of view is something we value.
Good production support isn't about taking over someone else's vision. It's about helping create the conditions for that vision to succeed.
Making Room for More Stories
Whether it's an independent short film, branded video, creative campaign or digital production, we believe every project deserves thoughtful attention and the right approach.
Our involvement with Three Days reflects something central to how we work at Troppical: collaboration, flexibility and a genuine appreciation for the creative process.
We're proud to have supported Jasmine and the team in bringing this story to life, and we're excited to see where the film goes next.
