Experiencing Interruptions?

Before the Dawn

A cheating girlfriend (Woman in the Car) runs away with the money stolen by his boyfriend (Man) and unknowingly leaves a highly confidential information contained CD behind. When her boyfriend (Man) sees the contents of the CD, he turns to his journalist ex-girlfriend (Woman) to report on it.

Before the Dawn is a visually arresting short film that delves into the liminal space between night and day, reality and dream. Rooted in surrealist storytelling, the film explores themes of solitude, transformation, and the quiet tension of impending change. With evocative imagery and an immersive soundscape, Before the Dawn invites the audience into a world where time feels suspended, and the boundaries of perception begin to blur. A meditation on the unseen forces that shape us, the film lingers in the moments just before awakening—where everything and nothing is possible.
