Alone in a dimly lit room, her life seems to fade with each cigarette she smokes. She observes a vibrant young woman, envying her youth and vitality. Through her introspections, we explore her deep desires and regrets. The narrative, rich with poetry and flashbacks, takes a dramatic turn with a potential murder, leading to a surprising twist.

Review by Victoria Angelique:
The question about a telemarketer’s psyche after constantly being yelled at or hung up on is answered in the short film, DOTTED LINE. Everyone has had the annoying phone call about their car’s extended warranty and just like the characters in the film, most people blow them off without a thought to what it could do to a person that is simply doing their job. This story shows how one man snapped to turn into a serial killer by targeting a loud mouth man, a stereotypical “Karen”, and a reclusive woman with self-esteem issues.
The story itself is satirical and thrilling at the same time. The sound design really adds to the horror elements of the story, with creaking floorboards and breaking glass to accompany the score. This feels like it should be a scary movie, up until the deranged telemarketer comes on screen. His lines are quite humorous for what would actually be a terrifying situation. The satirical elements only add to the story as the “Karen” hostage keeps demanding to speak to the man’s manager.
The prop and set design on this film are cinematic. The skeletons with organs falling out aids the story to show that this isn’t the first time this man has killed someone nor will it be the last, these are simply his latest victims. The props aid to the story of Amber, the reclusive woman, since she is receiving note cards with phrases that at first makes the audience think she is the mentally unwell one and her paranoia is simply in her head. The twist of the telemarketer kidnapping her, along with the two others, gives the theme to always trust one’s instinct because it might just save someone’s life. There is only one way for them to save themselves from this horrifying scenario and that is by signing on the DOTTED LINE to agree to the contract for their car’s extended warranty.
