Short Film: Polaroid (2023)

Synopsis

Barbara goes to visit her dead mother’s grave. She pulls out a sandwich and eats it there as something approaches from behind… No, wait, it’s her friend Tiffany, who’s brought Barbara her photography homework from school.

Inside the homework packet is an old-style Polaroid camera. She takes a picture right there in the cemetery. What could happen?

Commentary

Polaroids don’t develop anywhere near that fast, but no one under the age of forty would probably know that. Then again, it’d be a really slow video if it were time-accurate!

It’s well-paced, looks great, and it all happens in the bright daylight. Very nice!
