A Rushed and Exhausting Day in a Young Commuter's Life

A cinematic, realistic short film of a young East Asian woman with wavy shoulder-length dark hair living a rushed, exhausted daily routine. Muted earthy tones, slightly grainy 35mm film look, natural lighting, handheld camera, quiet and melancholic mood.
