Inside
A short film exploring the tense situation of two civilians in a hideout, keeping themselves concealed from the streams of violence outside. Will they open their locked doors for a third?
Story | Script
Three civilians have trapped themselves inside a confinement. War is waging outside between the higher authorities and the civilians. The riots against the leader have led to an emergency.
The forces are commanded to shoot on sight at any civilians. Guns are spying the ones who once stood against the power.
This Winter was the severest one in the whole decade, with a brief amount of sunlight, anyone confined inside the shadows was doomed to death. Outside were the forces of the government, given command to shoot any breathing soul in sight. In such a situation, three civilians have confined themselves inside a building. Trying to protect themselves from the spying guns.
Three of them (Dave, Alex and Peter) knowing they are doomed, confused how to react to the situation are just sitting idly in a dark room (low lighting)
There is a long silence between the three of them. It's been three days since they’ve seen the sunlight, constant gunshots breathed terror in the dark nights.
The Man Shouting, screaming, crying was aware that there were people inside. His cry was pleading to get inside, his life pleading to get inside, screaming with thin hopes to survive another day. Three of them, not knowing what to do, reaches the locked door. The man crying outside, is visible through the windows. Confusion floods their eyes, The stares between them grew long and intense while the cry outside grows loud.
A sudden gunshot leaves the small window bloody, hand drags down on the bloody window leaving an imprint of unheard struggle. The cry stops behind the door, leaving the three inside terrified and
the Window bathed in blood. The person outside dies, ”silenced”.
The scene ends panning to the door which they refused to open.
