Come Outside

By Sheldon Woodson with 6.3

sci fi · Short Films · english

A woman truly loves the sunlight and all that it has to offer. While introducing the viewer to her fondness for it, the narrative lists down the many wonders of the sun for human existence. However, one day, an unexpected turn of events leads to a terrible development, triggered very much from this sustenance-giving source of light itself.

Due to a solar anomaly, the sun shifting in its axis, there is a tremendous disturbance in the frequency of the infrared, visible, and ultraviolet rays of the sun's electromagnetic spectrum. This, in turn, alters the human cellular structure, causing a strange condition marked by neurosis that renders humans no more than zombie-like creatures.

The short film is a zealous attempt to invoke all of this for the viewer, attempting to engage and horrify them in the process. The entirety of the plot unfolds within the same physical space, showing the desire to employ limited resources to share its story. However, now that a loving couple and their everyday reality has been portrayed for the audience, what will be their eventual fate?
