Leave Meeting: How to Commit Murder on Zoom
If you're looking for new content during the pandemic, check out this short film called “Leave Meeting: A Telehealth Recording”. The concept is based around the web meetings that everyone has been attending during this Coronavirus pandemic. The premise is therapist (Rebecca) is waiting on a call with her client (Karen) but is surprised to find the client's ex-husband (Carl) there instead. As the two talk, the truth about what the therapist has been up to, manipulating her client, is revealed, as well as Carl's issues.
One thing I want to say is that the actor playing Carl, does a great job portraying this sleazy, fast-talking, jerk. The actor nails the line delivery, coming across very naturally. All of the actors do a good job, but Carl is an interesting character to watch.
This short reminds me of a Lifetime mystery thriller. I mean that in the best of ways, I enjoy Lifetime movies. The story unravels in a natural way, leaving you wondering what's next. The decisions and choices that these characters make are quite shocking; in a way that makes you question their morality, and your own. The way the story unfolds captured my attention so well, I could have watched more of this video.
There is a bit of a surprise towards the end, that I didn't expect, but think it's brilliant. Everyone gets what they deserve and the literally clicking of “leave meeting” is the perfect way to end the film. So, if you enjoy thrillers and character drama, check out this short video by Christopher T. Woods. If you need something to watch for Halloween check out Woods other short film, “Don't Turn Around”. https://youtu.be/elpiDe3oSE0
