short Film — Shortlisted, Berlin Commercial Film Festival 2025
Analog 16 mm

Love Is a Gamble confronts the fragile boundary between love, fate, and mortality. Shot entirely on analog 16mm film, the visual language leans into chance and imperfection, heightening tension and translating emotional risk into raw, tactile imagery.
