Eric Dietrick

In a world where the glowing screen has become a haunting void, Eric Dietrick directs this brief but unsettling exploration of digital disconnection. The film follows an unnamed protagonist who finds themselves trapped in a surreal, static-filled reality where television signals have mysteriously ceased to exist. As they wander through empty rooms and flickering corridors, the absence of familiar broadcasts becomes a palpable, oppressive force, blurring the line between the physical and the virtual. The central conflict emerges as the character struggles to reclaim a sense of normalcy, battling a growing sense of isolation and paranoia that suggests the static was never just noise, but a vital link to humanity. With its atmospheric tension and a minimalist, almost dreamlike narrative, this eleven-minute short evokes a chilling meditation on our dependence on media. It is a quiet, eerie journey that questions what happens when the endless stream of content goes silent, leaving only a hollow, unnerving quiet.
