Shutter is an experimental short film that blurs the line between narrative, satire and self reflection. It primarily explores the anxiety of performance and the fear of being judged.

By combining satire with a sense of self awareness, Shutter captures the true essence of creating, performing and exposing oneself to the gaze of others.
