About This Movie

16.03 is an interesting gem in the indie scene, blending drama and thriller in a rather unsettling way. It stretches just over 16 minutes, yet it packs an emotional punch, taking us on a ride with a young woman who faces a bizarre situation while driving. The pacing has a slow burn quality, which works well to heighten the tension. You really feel her confusion and fear, layered with a haunting atmosphere. The practical effects are minimal but effective, leaving much to the imagination. It has this unique way of keeping you on edge, especially with that unexpected twist at the end. Definitely not your typical short film, it lingers in your mind long after the credits roll.

Unique exploration of tension in a short format · Notable for its emotional depth despite brief runtime · Subtle but effective use of practical effects
