Psychological ride
This is a good short, the moving camera shots combined with the music reflected pretty well the character’s state of mind. Nice acting. I also liked the pacing, the tension along with the sense of confusion keeps building, however, I think it goes too long and there is a moment of boredom, but the end pays off good. The guy simple couldn’t escape. The voice over characterization feels very flat, it also needs better sound editing.

    A man, showing tension, drives to a phone booth and calls to report an accident and wanting to remain anonymous. This is an effective opening element of mystery. Having the man jump dressed into the shower made me more curious. Then the reveal comes in, he caused the accident. After this I think it needs more development on showing his state of mind for the end to work, which... read
