Overview

Pigeonhole is a contemporary short film built around isolation, vulnerability, and an underlying sense of tension. The story follows a model recovering alone in a remote holiday house, where an unexpected encounter gradually disrupts the fragile calm of her surroundings. I shaped the sound design to reflect this growing unease, using subtle environmental details, foley, and carefully controlled silences to create a sense of anticipation without relying on conventional thriller tropes. The sonic approach remains intimate and restrained, allowing small sounds and changes in the environment to gradually become more significant as the story unfolds.
