Midnight Drop
Short form series
SYNOPSIS
The Decisive Moment: Midnight Drop follows an elderly woman as she navigates her daily routines in a city on the brink of collapse. As air-raid sirens scream and bombers approach, she clings to small acts of care—feeding stray cats, cooking for her husband—as a form of resistance. Meanwhile, far above, two pilots prepare to release devastation on the very place she calls home.
Our third project, Midnight Drop
Midnight Drop is a 15-minute long film about the story of the US attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities in June 2025, told from the dual perspective of the bomber pilots and a woman in Tehran. The film was previewed by The Guardian, where it was described as "engrossing."
