Due Diligence (2026)

Each night, he broadcasts his critique of the world—until the world begins to reshape him. *Due Diligence* is a psychological indie short film exploring ambition, identity, and the silent weight of having to define your path before you feel ready. Following a routine newscast, a young anchor finds himself torn between the comfort of stability and the pull of creative freedom. As conversations grow hazy and perspectives clash, he’s forced to face a truth he’s long avoided: Is he actively building his future, or simply drifting into it? Weaving themes of burnout, societal pressure, and the dread of falling behind, *Due Diligence* captures the inner turmoil of a generation striving to reconcile security with purpose.
