Short Film: The Jogger (2023)

What Happens

A woman is out for her regular morning run and notices a strange man sitting on a bench watching her. She passes him quickly but then sees him again at the next bench—and the next. This guy clearly isn’t running to catch her; he’s just… there. 

To get away from the odd man, she takes a trail off into the woods, where things get even weirder…

Commentary

Nothing bad can happen in a busy park on a beautiful day, can it? Yep. This one is good. There’s no dialogue at all, but we get a clear picture of what’s going on at the end. We don’t know exactly what the mysterious man is all about, but we know why he’s there and what he wants. I would have liked it to have been just a few seconds longer so we could see how the ending plays out.

Good!
