Short film directed by Henrik Bill, produced by Mirror Entertainment and supported by Aarhus Filmværksted.
The short film is centered around 23-year-old Peter who struggles with illness anxiety. On his way to vacation with his girlfriend, he notices some marks near his lymph nodes. Peter tries to hide it, but he gets caught, and now he must face his fear.
Shot, edited co-graded by me.

The visual style is distinctly dark, cold, and somber. A constant sense of threat lingers just beneath the surface.
The film is lit low-key, with a clinically soft falloff from medium-soft light sources, combined with a pronounced use of negative fill.
It operates in the shadows—where the film truly comes alive.
The colors are desaturated and kept in cold, unsettling, winter-like tones, reinforcing the gravity of the film’s universe. The palette is monochromatic, carried by a muted blue-green hue.
To create a creeping unease, the camera itself behaves with an unsettling stealth. Often employing subtle push-ins through the use of a dolly-jib, it builds visual tension. The framing is tight, relying on telephoto lenses to produce a cinematically compressed image with an intense focus on facial expression.
Every visual device is carefully chosen to induce discomfort and penetrate deep into the protagonist’s mind.
