10. “The Witness”

In the weird and dangerous alleys of a dream-like metropolis, a woman’s horror-stricken eyes accidentally witnesses an act of unspeakable violence through her window – a man brutally murdering another woman. As the murderer’s cold gaze meets hers, she finds herself violently thrown into a heart-pounding pursuit, weaving through the city’s labyrinth-like streets.

“The Witness” is not just a tale; it’s a highly immersive and visually stunning masterpiece, blending raw panic and emotion with ethereal artistry, capturing the very essence of fear and beauty in such a heavy yet easy way that leaves audiences breathless.

9. “Automated Customer Service”

In a world where

I kind of wish I lived in, but knowing how the whole story unfolds, I retract this statement

household chores are managed by AI, Eleanor, a seemingly sweet older lady, is startled one afternoon when her usually reliable robotic vacuum turned rogue. As it advances towards her while menacingly whirring and plotting her demise as well as her dog’s, Eleanor, armed only with her quick wit and faithful dog, Baxter, scrambles to find safety.

The part of this short that absolutely nails how frustrating AI and automated customer service numbers are begins when Eleanor desperately dials the customer helpline, only to be met with the frustrating and enraging calm voice of an automated system. “For appliance rebellions, please press 3.”

Caught between a killer appliance and a robotic voice that literally did not give a damn about her or her issues with her robot, Eleanor realizes the battle for survival is as much against technology as it is against time in this hilariously relatable short.
