During the pandemic when everyone was working remotely, I heard countless stories of terrible bosses who were exploiting their employees. That inspired me to make Resignation Letter.

Resignation Letter is a psychological horror short film about a burned-out employee who is trying to cope with her abusive boss, while trying to find the courage to quit her job. Things begin to get complicated when her boss threatens her own survival.

It's a little over 6 minutes, but it took me over 6 months to get this done. I have written, directed, and produced this film by myself, operating behind the camera while directing, as well as editing the project, from its visual effects to its sound effects.

While this project may seem like a moderate-budget short film with a crew, I shot in every location through favors from friends and family, investing only in minimal film gear, building custom dolly tracks and other gadgets, and doing the manual and creative labor myself.

Making movies is probably the hardest thing I've ever done, but it has one of the biggest emotional rewards I've ever experienced.

This is my first real short film, but it won't be the last one.

Hope you enjoy it!
