This 5-minute film has so much story to it it can be discussed for hours on end from a cinematography point of view, lighting, edits and cuts and the overall story. I'm using it as my post for film class on experimental films.

Me too!

This was incredible man. The style of it felt quite like a Hitchcock film. Good job :)

[@EddieAdamson]

Thanks man!

[@sylaslong4522]

This is one of the greatest short films I have ever seen

[@MatthewHyatt]

Amazing, dude. This is seriously awesome. And I agree with the other Hitchcock reference. I felt Ray Bradbury too. Bravo.

I hate that after the voicemail I thought “I’m panicking because I’m gonna lose my job” that really popular Tik tok audio .
This is a really amazing short film

Great film! Seriously loved the cinematography, it was fantastic!

I swear, years ago I saw a film (with very different aesthetics but almost identical plot) which name I cannot recall. It was a fifteen-minute or so film of a man whose job was killing people remotely, locating the targets with the help of satellites... unbeknown to him, and after refusing to kill a target from Chile who had a daughter, he is himself killed by his own wife using the remote system while he is out, who he did not know worked for the same agency... maybe you saw that film?

and then, we have Terror Tuesdays at the White House, since Obama... (with Trump it's become Terror Every-day-of-the-week)

Very nice, I liked the lynchian surrealism to it.

[@chrishowick485]

Loved the play with light and shadow

[@francistylercald9587]

[@jasoncropley5334]

Holy shit, this is amazing!

[@KayOSweaver]

Made me think about a lost chapter of Gravity's Rainbow.

[@SeemoreDunkan]
