Director Statement

With SOMETHING’S NOT QUITE RIGHT, I aimed to immerse the audience in the protagonist's fractured perspective and show the perversion of something as beautiful and pure as friendship.

Growing up, I struggled to form meaningful connections due to my parents’ frequent relocations. Ignoring my mother’s favorite saying—“Better alone than in bad company”—I often sought out unhealthy relationships, desperate to feel seen by someone other than my family. This longing to belong, even at a cost, became the emotional foundation for this film.

SOMETHING’S NOT QUITE RIGHT delves into the desperate pursuit of connection, exploring how far we’re willing to go to avoid loneliness.

Shot entirely on an iPhone to embrace a raw, unpolished aesthetic. Through shifting formats, an evolving color palette, and an intentionally overdramatic score in key scenes, the story stays tethered to Anita, immersing the audience in her unraveling mind and revealing the brutal reality of letting the wrong people in.
