'ONTIC' - Short Film

Life isn’t about being the main character; but about recognising that everyone is navigating their own challenges. Through shared experiences and subtle connections, our personal struggles are just one part of a broader tapestry of human existence. The path to self-discovery is not linear or glamorous, but it is real, just like our ontic existence.

Logline:

Two disconnected people— a heartbroken ex and a blocked artist - grapple with their personal struggles, unaware that their paths are woven together by the quiet, invisible threads of a shared search for meaning in a world where no one is truly the main character.
