Made during the height of the COVID-19 lockdown, Breathe takes the idea of virus particles in the air and pushes it to a breaking point. In a world saturated with fear, information, and invisible threats, the film follows one man as the noise surrounding the pandemic—both literal and psychological—drives him toward the edge.
As the air itself becomes suspect, the line between reality and paranoia begins to blur. What starts as self-preservation turns into obsession, and survival becomes less about oxygen than about control. Stripped down and claustrophobic by design, the film channels the collective anxiety of the moment into a tightly focused descent.
Breathe was selected as a finalist in the Quarantine Creep Fest short film competition, recognized for transforming the abstract dread of the pandemic into an intimate, unsettling portrait of isolation and collapse.
