HOW COULD THIS HAVE HAPPENED TO ME!

 

2022 | Narrative Micro Short | Comedy | 16:9 Aspect Ratio | 4 mins

​

Claire goes leaps and bounds to avoid the coronavirus, in a pandemic where no one else is taking safety quite as seriously as she is.

 

Partly inspired by my hypochondriac Father during lockdown, I wanted this film to show the comedic elements juxtaposed with the drama in the people who take their own safety far more seriously than the consideration of others.
