Director's notes
Midnight Whisperer is a film that conveys the emotion of liberation. I aim to explore the realm of emotional release by revealing the truth to a loved one. The paradox of being so close yet so far inspired me to express this story visually through the lights of a physical cubical vessel—a phone booth. This confined space symbolizes entrapment, and to free herself, the protagonist must reveal her emotional truth.
