PASSING | A Short Film About the 'What Ifs' We Never Forget

A teenage girl discovers a series of mysterious notes in a library, sparking an unexpected encounter that reveals how some connections, however brief, can profoundly mark us.
PASSING might be the most spontaneous project I've done to date: for the first time in months, an idea randomly came to me during a long night in May, and I went with it. I love how much it ended up feeling like the embodiment of a "student short film." I was more focused on capturing a universal experience and feeling rather than a story in and of itself: knowing someone momentarily yet the lingering effect they have on our mind. Being haunted by the "what ifs."
In short, I hope you all get something out of this the way I did! A deep thank you to everyone who was immediately on board to help me with this--you all made the experience of being on set so wonderful and full of laughter.
(leave a "🤎" if you read this far!)
