2:AM (Short – Psychological Thriller – IdeasTap Funded)
2AM
Short Film – 13 mins
The lives of four strangers are changed forever when they discover a gruesome murder. Each character has their weaknesses and strengths but they will be put to the test when asked to make a horrible moral choice.
A waitress finishing the night shift is confronted by a man with blood on his hands and a decision she can't take back.
2AM is a neo-noir psychological thriller exploring guilt, violence, and late-night paranoia. Set entirely in a roadside diner, it draws on the visual language of ‘70s noir and pulp character dramas.
The short premiered online in 2015 and remains a tense, early example of Cronin’s interest in morality driven thrillers and single-location storytelling.
