Alternate Ending (2003)

The short film "Alternate Ending" (2003) follows a lantern's slow ascent through the dark stairwell of a 1930s office building. Intricate banister details create shifting, delicate shadows as the lantern approaches a frosted-glass door glowing from within. The camera focuses on the door's nameplate, which is unreadable against the light. The lantern's movement evokes a feeling that the building's core exists behind that door, creating an unsettling sense of subconscious vulnerability, though in a more atmospheric way than clinical.
