A woman pays for an hour in a hotel room, but not for what you’d expect. What unfolds between two sisters is a confrontation neither of them is ready for.

Created as part of a 48-hour film challenge, this tender and lightly comedic short follows recently widowed Dad Eli as he navigates the chaos of a single morning with his spirited 11-year-old daughter, Naomi. What begins as a struggle over burnt grilled cheese turns into a quiet, heartfelt moment of connection, love, and resilience. Naomi’s wisdom, humor, and old-soul insight help her father navigate grief, reminding us that even in loss, love—and laughter—can still find a way. A story about family, imperfection, and the small moments that make life meaningful.

When a simple text turns into a full-blown emotional spiral, one man's inner voice won't let him rest. Left on Read is a sharp, funny, and painfully relatable solo short that blends real-time monologue, voiceover, and self-reflection (literally) to explore the mind games we play when someone doesn’t text back. Styled with humor, heart, and vulnerability in the spirit of Insecure, the film is a one-man show—written, directed, shot, and performed entirely by a single creator.
