Livi likes watching the world with her headphones on. Riding through open fields, she notices a record store standing alone in the meadow and decides to stop. Nearby, she meets Halmo, a stranger waiting at an isolated bus stop. A shared interest in music gives them a reason to talk, and they head inside together.
While browsing, they notice a record cover change into a photo of the two of them, taken just moments earlier. Nobody else is in sight. Neither saw a camera. In a place this empty, someone seems to know they’re here. And what does Livi really know about the stranger beside her? I created the film using Cantina, with original characters and a dreamlike setting. I combined vintage clothing, open landscapes, and a warm record store interior to make the world feel familiar but slightly strange.

That mystery twist with the record cover changing in real-time is brilliant pacing. Combining a warm, nostalgic aesthetic with that underlying psychological tension makes the storyline incredibly engaging. Cantina handled the character consistency across different environments flawlessly! 🎧 vinyl
