ABOUT

Genre

Drama /Thriller || Length: Short Film

Synopsis

Peggy follows two women whose tense, uneasy interaction unfolds under the watchful eye of a silent stranger. Set on a sweltering night at a lonely bus stop, what begins as a simple wait for the bus slowly unravels into a gripping moment of fear, trust, and unexpected connection. The story reminds us how important it is to look out for one another — and how small acts of awareness can mean everything.

The Characters

  • Peggy Sanders (Lead) – A tough, sharp-witted waitress whose empathy and instincts collide under pressure.


  • Laura – A timid young woman trapped between fear and trust.


  • The Man – A silent threat embodying menace, vulnerability, and the unpredictable danger of the unknown.

Themes & Visual Style

At its heart, Peggy explores survival, empathy, and the unspoken sisterhood that emerges under threat. The story unfolds in real time, capturing the claustrophobic stillness of night and the unpredictable rhythm of fear. Visually, the film draws inspiration from Nightcrawler and Blue Valentine, with stark lighting, long shadows, and handheld intimacy that heighten the realism and immediacy of the moment. The sound design amplifies silence—the hum of streetlights, the tremor in breath, the quiet before release—turning the ordinary into something deeply unsettling.
