I like the vintage visuals. And the surrealism of course. What a great idea to have the former and modern self meet each other and with regards to such an important subject matter. This one's a classic already 👌 I'm a fan!

Thanks Nikolas for the positive feedback it is much appreciated 👍 The Girl Who Haunted Herself is an amateur short film shot and edited on a smartphone, the film was unscripted and we had no planned schedule for filming, it was a impromptu shot which only took a day!

Nice surreal short. Shot in a day, edited on the phone - that's the foundation of indie amateur films - welcome to the club ;)

I really like the vintage tv effects. The square box effect at the beginning which is unique and makes it feel like it was filmed in the 70's / 90's. You also give off S-Log 3 vibes which is basically is ungraded footage that is grey or nearly lifeless until color graded. Despite that ungraded footage look, you pull it off well which helps add to the authenticity of the story you're telling.
