In this taut eight-minute thriller from writer-director Andrew William Jacobsen, a chance encounter in a forgotten alleyway becomes a descent into psychological terror. Benjamin Young plays Elias, a weary office worker whose mundane commute is shattered when he stumbles upon a strange, pulsating gap in reality—the interstice of the title. Driven by a mix of curiosity and dread, he finds himself drawn into this liminal space, where time and memory warp. There, he meets a mysterious woman named Vera, portrayed by Reese Pucciano, who seems to know more about the anomaly than she lets on. As the environment around them begins to decay and shift, Elias must confront the possibility that the interstice is not just a physical crack in the world, but a manifestation of his own buried trauma. Blending elements of psychological horror with a dreamlike, atmospheric tension, the film keeps viewers on edge, questioning what is real and what is a fragile construct of the mind.
