A very suspenseful movie. It's a challenge movie. The act never knew it was a challenge until the mission failed on the last stage unknowingly.

Director Statement

As the director of Dark Mission, I am thrilled to present this short film to audiences for its theatrical debut. Dark Mission represents a bold exploration into the realms of suspense, action, and psychological intensity, driven by a desire to tell stories that challenge and engage viewers. The film draws on themes of moral conflict, ambition, and the hidden forces that guide our actions, packaged within a compact but gripping narrative.

In crafting Dark Mission, my goal was to immerse the audience in a world of uncertainty and tension, where each decision leads to unforeseen consequences. My passion for using minimalist resources has been integral to my filmmaking journey, allowing me to focus on what matters most: the story and the emotions it evokes. With this film, I aimed to show that even with limited tools, compelling and immersive stories can be told.

I hope this film leaves viewers questioning their own decisions and contemplating the missions they embark on in life. I believe Dark Mission will resonate with audiences seeking a fresh perspective on suspenseful storytelling, and I look forward to sharing this experience on the big screen.
