A Quarter to Eleven
This short film was shot during lock down due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
We live in one of the most difficult times of our lives. Everything has stagnated. The days go by slow. It's like time has frozen. And it was this damn time that inspired this short film, made totally indoors.
