In the charming short comedy "To Be," a group of friends find their casual hangout spiraling into an absurd existential crisis. When a simple philosophical question about the nature of existence is posed, what begins as lighthearted banter quickly escalates into a hilarious and heated debate. The ensemble, including Ethan Lupoff, Remy Carlisle, and Marlee Kitchen, each bring their own wildly different perspectives and personal baggage to the table, turning a quiet evening into a comedic battlefield of ideas.

As the conversation grows more intense and ridiculous, long-held friendships are tested and hidden motivations surface. Directed and written by Caroline Sierk, the film masterfully uses sharp, witty dialogue to explore how modern anxieties can erupt in the most ordinary settings. With a talented cast navigating the fine line between profound and preposterous, "To Be" delivers a clever and relatable snapshot of a generation overthinking everything, all while trying to figure out what it truly means to live.
