CLOCKING OUT

CLOCKING OUT is a tense and atmospheric neo-noir psychothriller with a strong visual identity, clear genre focus, and minimalistic storytelling. The 14-minute film was conceived as a proof of concept for a feature-length project and is intended to build momentum and visibility through the festival circuit.

Set over the course of a single night, the film follows a woman who is pulled into a dangerous power game between threat and mistrust — a chamber piece in an open space, exploring primal fears through cinematic suspense. Shot on a Sony ZV-E1 with a deliberately stripped-down approach, the film aims to create intimacy and high tension. Visually and tonally, it draws inspiration from films such as Nightcrawler, Victoria, and Prisoners.
