In the quiet intimacy of a solitary evening, a young woman finds a peculiar ritual in her nightly routine. "sometimes, i do my skincare in the dark" is a delicate, introspective short film that follows its sole character as she navigates the space between self-care and solitude. Written, directed, produced by, and starring Mikyla Mae Alingasa, the film captures a fleeting moment where the simple act of applying skincare products transforms into a meditative, almost confessional practice performed without light. This six-minute vignette explores the unspoken thoughts and gentle vulnerabilities that surface when one is truly alone, crafting an atmosphere of serene melancholy. It is a subtle portrait of modern isolation, where the darkness becomes not a void, but a canvas for reflection, questioning what it means to tend to oneself when no one is watching.
