About the Film

Sad Face is a surreal dark comedy short that follows Alice, a young woman whose routine doctor’s appointment takes an unexpected turn. What begins with the banality of medical forms and waiting-room chatter quickly slips into an off-kilter reality—where humor and dread exist side by side.

Surrounded by strangers whose quirks feel larger than life, Alice is forced to navigate a maze of uncertainty, longing for clarity but finding only fragmented answers. The film blends biting humor with emotional honesty, creating a world that is at once absurd, intimate, and deeply relatable.

Led by a woman-driven creative team and crafted with the production value of a feature, Sad Face captures the indie spirit of doing more with less: a story about resilience, isolation, and the surreal comedy of simply trying to exist in a system that often feels broken.
