            Notes from the DirectorThis short film explores the tension, uncertainty, and human fragility that surface when a carefully planned heist begins to unravel. Developed collaboratively with my team, I worked as director, writer, and cinematographer, shaping the tone and visual language to reflect the characters’ escalating loss of control. The film examines what happens when precision gives way to chaos, when trust fractures under pressure, and when survival instincts override intention. Through tight framing, restrained performances, and a focus on emotional fallout rather than spectacle, the project aims to reveal the human story beneath the crime narrative—a moment where everything planned collapses, and the truth of each character emerges.
