The Medium
When a girl who can see ghosts goes on a first date, she finds an unlikely ally.
Created in response to the prompt "Continuity," this short film deals with the creative constraints of black-and-white imagery and the absence of sound to tell its story entirely through visual storytelling.
Inspired by the charm of classic practical effects, the film intentionally features exaggerated, handcrafted effects that celebrate the ingenuity and humor of hands-on filmmaking. By leaning into their deliberately imperfect execution, the effects become part of the comedy, serving as both a playful homage to practical filmmaking techniques and a reminder that creativity often thrives within limitations.
Starring Grace Schnitzius, Ava Fumarolo, and Gabriel Gray
