Experiencing Interruptions?

Chained To A Railway

Yasmin is counting down her last minutes on the work clock when she receives a distressing demand from her boss. Just as she thought the day couldn’t get dragged any longer, she decides to take matters on her hand in her unpaid time.

When she snaps, she goes on a cold, bloody imagery about a revenge. She gets snapped back to reality sets on the fantasy that she has made up.

Director Statement

Jela hates describing themselves so when they are forced to, they dump out a pile of garbage which they believe is encompassing their being. However, they do not believe that their self-perception is enough for people to fully understand who they are. Human existence can not be condensed into one paragraph, especially when the person is only jotting down what they see as reflected in the mirror in front of them.
