Footage is a haunting and emotional short film that explores the delicate line between friendship and love - and how life can change in a single, unexpected moment. At its core, the story follows two lifelong friends who have grown up side by side, sharing inside jokes, late-night talks, and a bond so deep that words often feel unnecessary. Yet, beneath the surface, unspoken feelings linger. She's in love with him but has never found the courage to tell him. Every shared laugh and passing glance is filled with the quiet hope that maybe he feels the same. Finally, after months of building up the courage, she decides to tell him the truth. But just as she prepares to speak her heart, fate intervenes. A sudden car accident interrupts everything. In an instant, the future she envisioned with him is torn away. She doesn't survive the crash, leaving behind only memories and the heartbreak of words never spoken. As he copes with the shock and grief of her loss, the weight of what was left unsaid begins to consume him. Through fragments of their time together - photos, videos, voice memos - he begins to piece together just how much she cared. In the days following her death, every image and recording becomes a painful yet beautiful reminder of the connection they shared. He replays their final moments over and over, wishing for one more chance to say what he never did. Footage is a powerful story about missed chances, the fragility of life, and the echo of love that was never fully realized. With a subtle touch of romance, devastating tragedy, and emotional depth, this film reminds us how precious every moment truly is - and how sometimes, silence says more than words ever could.
