Experiencing Interruptions?

Typical

Peter, struggling with the aftermath of a traumatic experience faces emotional trouble when his friend accuses him of indifference, dismissing the situation as 'typical.
This film explores the events leading up to the trauma, the friend's connection to the story, and whether Peter was truly careless. It also explores the deeper metaphor of what it means to be 'typical' in a world where nothing is as it seems.

Director Statement

Typical challenges the audience to look beyond nature and question the hidden depths of every person situation and thing. This film is my attempt to illustrate the idea that there's no such thing as typical, everything is unique in its own way, and nothing can't be unique.

I've compiled this film into two parts: "Typical" and "Distinct." The "Typical" part shows a surface-level narrative where the friends meet in the park, with the red shirt trying to support his friend. However, as we know, there's no such thing as typical. The deeper truth and motivations are unveiled in the "Distinct" part, where the true complexities of the character's emotions and actions are revealed.
