Title: Gaze
Storyline: 'Gaze' is a visually driven student short film that explores the nature of perception, unconscious bias, and silent tension.
The story follows a weary nurse who, after a long day, sits on a park bench and becomes fixated on a woman whose unwavering gaze makes her increasingly uneasy.
As discomfort escalates, the nurse interprets the gaze as judgmental and intrusive until the revelation that the woman is blind, challenging all of the nurse’s assumptions.
The film uses expressive, dialogue-free storytelling to highlight how quickly people form judgments based on limited context and how perception can distort reality.
A powerful and visually focused piece ideal for actors interested in performance through body language, facial expression, and subtle emotion.
