The Wastes

About This Movie

The Wastes is an intriguing little short that pushes the boundaries of its science fiction premise. It creates this desolate, almost oppressive atmosphere right from the start, pulling you into a world that feels both familiar and foreign. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to soak in the haunting visuals and the sense of isolation. Practical effects are quite effective here, lending a gritty realism that complements the sparse dialogue and minimalistic storytelling. The performances, though subtle, really anchor the film as they navigate a landscape stripped of humanity. It's not flashy, but there's a rawness to it that sticks with you, making it unique in a sea of more polished shorts.
