Some films entertain, others inform, and then there are those that leave you unsettled—in the best way possible. 911, isn’t just a story; it’s an experience, a reflection of reality that too many people know too well. This film isn’t about easy answers—it’s about hard truths, and this month, I want to share what led to its creation, why it still resonates, and how you can be part of the conversation.
It started with frustration—watching the same tragic headlines, hearing the same debates, and feeling the same helplessness. 911 was born out of the need to translate that frustration into something tangible. The story follows an emergency dispatcher navigating a crisis, but the real crisis extends far beyond her call log. It’s about decisions that define lives.
Short films like 911 prove that storytelling doesn’t need a long runtime to hit hard. In just a few minutes, it brings you into a moment that feels all too real, forcing you to sit with the discomfort and ask the difficult questions.
Creating 911 meant more than just writing a script and filming scenes—it meant capturing a feeling. Every shot, every silence, every hesitation was intentional. The sound design mirrors the pressure of the moment, the pacing pulls you into the tension, and the performances bring authenticity to a situation that is both fictional and painfully real.
The team behind this film understood that we weren’t just telling a story—we were holding up a mirror. And that meant doing it with care, honesty, and a deep responsibility to the reality that inspired it.
Recently, I had the chance to talk about 911 and my filmmaking journey on a podcast, diving into the creative choices, the inspiration behind the film, and the larger conversation it hopes to spark. If you want to hear more about what went into making 911, check out the episode here: Podcast Link
