ASTRO

A quiet, slightly eerie short that sits with a lonely woman at a call center desk, blurring the line between scripted comfort and something genuinely uncanny.

Directed by

Tim Ewalts

Starring

Daphne Agten, Lindsay Zwaan, Sjaid Foncé

Overview

Emily has just started her job as a telephone psychic. Not that she is that spiritual herself, but she can use the money. So initially she does not really mind that the call center applies rather double standards. In her readings, Emily carefully follows the script formulated by the organisation. But during the conversations, she gradually discovers her spiritual side, as shown in this debut. Is there something supernatural, after all?
