Short form has a reputation as a format for fast cuts and little content. "Purpose" is my counter-example: a 60-second short film that I shot in a single day at five locations in Vienna — alone, without a crew. The film asks about meaning and direction, and Vienna is not just a backdrop in it, but a character.
Five locations, one narrative thread, no crew. I planned and executed every shot myself: framing, movement, light. Shot on the Sony FX3, edited and graded in DaVinci Resolve. The filming took one day; with editing and colour grading on top, the production came to three days in total. What came out of it is a 60-second film for Instagram — and the proof that short form carries emotionally when every second has a job to do.
