INSTANT36 – Shut The Fuck Up

Synopsis: A young woman is plagued by her psychological struggles, which manifest in a physical form. As her situation feels increasingly hopeless, she isolates herself in an abandoned place, hoping to banish her demons—only to realize that escaping them isn’t so easy.

INSTANT36 is pure creative chaos: 36 hours to write, shoot, and edit a short film from scratch—no pre-planning, no pre-shot footage, just raw energy and a ticking clock. Every team gets a theme and a required object, and from there, it’s a mad dash to the finish line. Sleep? Optional. Stress? Guaranteed.

Out of around 130 short films, only 25 were selected for the official screening—and ours was one of them. Getting nominated in such a high-pressure competition is no small feat, and seeing our work on the big screen was an unforgettable moment.
