Nice Fire

2017 · 15 min

A wry, low-key short that coasts on awkward social friction and the quiet comedy of a plan going sideways.

Overview: A stressed office worker escapes on a lone camping trip, builds a nice fire and gets disturbed by a rowdy couple.
How it feels: Light, satirical, warm and tense. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Isolation, work, freedom
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
