Candy — Short Film

Candy is a short film that explores isolation, routine, and the quiet weight of everyday existence. Told through minimal dialogue and restrained visuals, the film follows a character drifting through familiar spaces—crowds, rooms, streets—while feeling emotionally detached from them.

The storytelling relies on framing, pacing, and visual rhythm rather than exposition. Moments repeat, slow down, and stretch, mirroring the character’s internal state. What seems ordinary on the surface gradually reveals a deeper sense of emptiness and a search for connection.

The film was co-written and co-directed, developed through close collaboration from concept to execution. I was involved in shaping the narrative, visual language, and storyboarding, focusing on how small visual decisions can carry emotion. Candy is less about plot and more about feeling—an attempt to capture what it’s like to move through life on autopilot.
