A Missed Call

Short films… well, tend to be short. But they make up for their shortness by being more what one might call: punchy. Featured below is a short film by Saad Altaf and Usman Ahmed (concept by Saad Altaf) which presents, to the viewer, the effect of telecommunication advances in the country. Sure, what you’re about to watch in the film isn’t something you get to see daily, but the premise here is metaphorical. And quite moving!

‘Missed Call’ – a must watch!

If you liked it, it would be awesome if you could leave a comment and share the post! Thanks! :D

When I got up, the bunch of pages was still with me; and on it was the most exciting idea for a movie I had ever seen.

Movie Review: Star Trek

Star Trek Small

Star Trek

The U.S.S. Enterprise is alive again!… but in an alternate reality.
