Creator's Note
As a storyteller, I am fascinated by the concept of a 1-2 min short film. The ability of such films to make an impact in the audience's mind in such a short span of time is not only remarkable but also speaks of the power of films as an art form. This is something I wanted to try out with this film.
​
Making such films is like dissecting a well-crafted joke. The premise (aka the setup) must be precise and as clear as possible. This will give way to an unexpected end (aka the punch), that will make the film make sense looking back. My approach with this film is to purposely exaggerate the setup in a way that the audience doesn't fully understand exactly why it's been going on for so long. Once that was done, it paved a path for the joke to land at the end, which made the film satisfying and fun.
​
This was also my first time working on a comedy film, a genre that, with its challenges and ability to play around with in Post-Production with timing, has certainly made a special place in my heart over time.
