Experiencing Interruptions?

The Pursuit of Happyness

The shortfilm chronicles the conversation between two friends, reminiscing their old times where they argued about movies. The short film is centered on Cinema, Music, Cricket and the nostalgia around these from the 90's. Setting contrast to those are the uncertainties of the current situation; Corona. The theme of the short film is how we forget to live the present in anticipation of doing so in a more settled and relaxed future. But is the future ever so accommodating?
