Kontakt (2008)

A short I directed at film school, telling a sort of post apocalyptic story. Very simple, but I'm kinda happy with how it turned out.

Lighting by Daniel Andersson
Starring Stefan Askernäs

Winner of "Best Sound" at Filmörnen; a local film festival in Karlstad, Sweden.

The way I see it is that the guy is trying to find any survivors with the use of a phone. Since I didn't understand what they were saying, I take it that he was somewhat glad, but not happy cause the person on the other side didn't know what was going on. This almost reminds me of I am Legend and you can also say The Omega Man since it's based of the same novel by Richard Matheson. The movie The Quiet Earth has the same concept where there's the last man on earth as well.

Thanks for the comment!

The dialogue goes as following:

Voice: "Hi, this is Maria!"

Man: "Hello - hello, something's happened! Somethi..."

Voice: I'm fine, thank you, how are you?"

Man: "What?"

Voice: "Just kidding, I'm not at home right now, but leave a message and I'll call you back."
