Well, That's Life

His script was criticized for being “lacking life.” Darren, a young writer at a loss for direction, tries to rewrite it. However, something unusual happens: the events he wrote about begin to occur in the real world, exactly as he imagined. From the ridiculous to the illogical, Darren begins to realize that this is no coincidence. What he imagines becomes real, and his life slowly becomes its own story. Well That's Life is a surreal short film about absurdity, imagination, and the blurring of boundaries between fiction and reality. So… who really wrote the ending?

The Iron Lung

The Iron Lung · 2025

Rian, the director who stunned the world with his debut, is now a prisoner of his own success. The spotlight that once illuminated his genius has become a scorching lens, magnifying the crushing demands of producers, the stifling hunger of the audience, and the paralyzing doubt cast by his own father. Rian yearns for bold experimentation, but finds himself shackled to the market-tested echoes of his past work, trapped in The Iron Lung of expectation. The Iron Lung is a visceral story of artistic suffocation and rebirth, asking a single question: What does it take for a visionary to choose freedom of expression over the comfortable silence of surrender?
