The Waiting Room

Shot on grainy 16mm film, heavy texture, muted indie palette, imperfect focus breathing. Day. A sterile hospital waiting room with rows of chairs. A person in a coat sits rigid, bouncing a knee, staring at a door, anxious. A ticking clock, an old magazine, a vending machine hum. Cold fluorescent light. Raw honest motion, verite soul, flickering exposure, 24fps.
