Experiencing Interruptions?

Imagination

A young man jolts awake as his alarm blares through the silence. Groggy yet unsettled, his eyes adjust to the dim light—only to land on a shadowy figure lurking in the corner of his room. Its shape is unclear, its presence unnerving. Is it an intruder? A trick of the mind? As his paranoia takes hold, reality blurs, and fear tightens its grip. What he sees—or thinks he sees—may be far more terrifying than he ever imagined.

Director Statement

This short film taps into a universal experience—waking up in the middle of the night and spotting an eerie shape in the shadows, uncertain if it's just your imagination or something more. It’s a moment of fear we've all encountered, where paranoia takes hold, and the mind begins to play tricks on us. That unsettling feeling was my inspiration.

As someone who has personally experienced this creeping dread, I wanted to craft a film that captures that exact moment—the split-second where fear and reality blur. This being my first film, I focused on creating a story that was within my resources yet powerful enough to leave an impact. By keeping the production simple but intentional, I aimed to prove that suspense and tension don’t require elaborate setups—just the right atmosphere and a well-executed idea.

This project is more than just a short film; it’s a testament to my passion for filmmaking and my commitment to telling engaging, relatable stories.
