2022 · 14 min

A short, tense slice of Athenian night where a routine shoot unravels into quiet chaos and unease.

Directed by: Nikos Panayotopoulos
Starring: Simeon Tsakiris, Giannis Drakopoulos, Tzortzina Daliani

Overview: One night in Athens, during the filming of a scene for a commercial, the view of the Acropolis darkens. All hell breaks loose. Not only are the Acropolis lights out, but both the cast and crew are unable to gather due to a nearby brawl. Finally, the shoot is called off altogether, when three gunshots are heard.
