They say you should make films on what you know. Well, I do remember years ago I actually experienced severe phone phobia or telephobia. It came from receiving the diagnosis of my incurable disease, and from that, it made telephone conversations so difficult for me to speak to anyone. But thank God with therapy I overcame that. I still get shy from time to time but not to the point where it was unbearable. So I took the experiences and turned it into a thriller but I also love comedy and thought it would be cool and treat it like a dark comedy as well.
I think this mini short film has served its purpose and hope everyone will feel the heartache from the character and maybe a good laugh in the end.
