Silvester

2024 · 12 min

A quiet, uneasy short that traps you with strangers and makes you feel the weight of waiting and watching.

Overview: When a public transport bus comes to a halt minus a desolate landscape, the passengers are condemned to each other. The unfortunate timing sets up a sparkling interplay of time, space and gazes.
How it feels: Tense, eerie, melancholic and absurd. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Isolation, fate, identity, trauma
Content: Mild violence and language. No gore or sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
