Perfectionism is an independent psychological drama exploring the paralyzing pursuit of self-improvement, the fear of failure, and the growing disconnect between who we are and who we believe we should become.

The film follows a man trapped in a cycle of digital consumption, self-optimization, and quiet self-loathing. When an unexpected encounter confronts him with another person's success, his fragile sense of self begins to unravel.

This is a small-scale, creatively driven production, primarily consisting of static, carefully composed shots in a single location. We aim to create an intimate and collaborative filmmaking environment where each crew member plays a meaningful role in bringing the film to life.
