Short Film: Wake Up


Wake up is a five-minutes-long stylised vampire short directed by Busarin Phukhang and is a silent piece. It starts with a girl walking into a coffee shop and meeting a friend. There is dialogue but it is lost, muffled deliberately. Suddenly the girl is walking backwards as the film goes into reverse taking her out of the shop. Perhaps it is memory, perhaps a dream? Whichever we see a white car parked before she sits with her mobile phone looking at the screen.

We see her in the dark sat in the open door of the car. She takes out a cigarette but someone approaches and takes it from her. They climb into the car and we see it is another girl. The first is leant against the new girl and they appear to be lovers but lips part, she leans to the prone neck and fangs are revealed. As for how this will end, the clue is in the title.

At the time of writing, I could not find an IMDb page.
