Looking Glass — Sundance Official Selection | Award-Winning Short Film — In a mysterious bar that houses a portal to the past, a man begins a surreal journey through time, dreams, and memory. As the lines blur between past and present, fear and ambition, he confronts the boundaries between talent and genius — and the internal doubts that hold him back from reaching his true potential. Looking Glass is a dreamlike meditation on the psychology of creation, the cost of self-sabotage, and the pursuit of something greater than oneself.
