About Shape of Day

Have you ever thought that certain things may not be a coincidence in your life?

Did you have any regrets?

Did you make the right decision?

Shape of Day is a short film about humanity inspired by a true event that occurred in Pakistan. When a homeless looking taxi driver brings a girl to Dr. Kahn’s clinic and asks for emergency help, nobody is interested in helping him because of his appearance. People do not see the homeless looking taxi driver’s humanitarian act. However, he is actually an incarnated angel who wants to teach Dr. Kahn a moral lesson in an unexpected way...

Shape of Day is about prejudice, judgement among others, and humanity in our society. This film will challenge your conscious mind.

Why is Shape of Day important and unique?

Shape of Day aims to...

• Inspire a reflection on humanity and gives the audience an ambiguous distinction between reality and fantasy by using symbolism and cultural differences.
  

• Create a unique experience with an interesting storytelling structure inspired by the idea of a MOBIUS strip.
• Create an exciting visual experience with strong color contrast and lighting.
• Challenge people’s minds and emotions with an unexpected ending that rarely appears in film.

• Create a moral impact that will stay in audience’s minds and from which they can learn.

In our effort to be as transparent as possible to you, the following pie chart is a breakdown for the production cost:

If this goal doesn’t hit, Shape of Day has to be delayed infinitely and the audience will miss out on a great short film, a great moral story, an amazing visual experience, and all the gifts!!!
