Type of work:
Short film + social teaser
Style:
2-min, single-location monologue shot on ARRI Alexa Mini—rich highlights, deep shadows, mirror-framed visuals
Objective:
Spark honest conversation about the push-and-pull between career ambition and being a present dad
Solution:
One-day shoot at Qube on a custom mirror set; solo performer (Malick Lives) confronting his reflection; lean crew, heavy grade, original score and sound design
Timeline:
1 week concept & script → 1-day production → 3 weeks post (edit, VFX, grade, mix)
Outcome:
Released after Father’s Day, the film drew 8k cross-platform views in its first week and kicked off an ongoing #Fatherhood dialog.
