Michael McFarland, A.P. Boland

In a brief but potent burst of storytelling, Michael McFarland and A.P. Boland helm this atmospheric short film that centers on a solitary figure confronting a deeply symbolic and personal challenge. The narrative unfolds around an individual drawn to a towering, mysterious chimney that dominates a stark landscape, a structure that serves as a physical manifestation of a lingering internal struggle. As the protagonist circles this imposing monolith, the film creates a palpable sense of unease and introspection, blurring the line between reality and a more surreal, psychological space. The central conflict emerges not from a direct adversary, but from the character's own need to confront what the chimney represents, a task that requires immense personal resolve. With its tight runtime, this piece prioritizes mood and visual metaphor over exposition, crafting a meditative and haunting tone that lingers long after the final frame. It is an enigmatic and artful exploration of memory, guilt, and the arduous journey toward personal reckoning.
