Director: hazart
Cast: Jim Cummings, Justin Simien, Rhian Rees, Nalini Sharma, Marta Piekarz
Did you know? The film was shot in a single, continuous take during a real Q&A at the Sundance Film Festival, with the audience unaware they were being filmed until the on-screen host began reading their own scripted questions.
Why Watch: "Stay for the Q&A" masterfully turns the predictable dread of an audience Q&A into a darkly comedic, cringe-inducing thriller that feels all too real. If you've ever sat through a festival screening and watched the wheels come off in real-time, this short film is a cathartic, unsettling, and wildly entertaining must-watch. It’s the perfect dose of cinematic anxiety for anyone who loves meta-horror and the chaotic energy of live, unscripted disaster.
After a glamorous premiere at a top-tier film festival, a standard Q&A session spirals into a chaotic and all-too-recognizable madness.
