THE MELON - 2026 (short)

“On the way to a pool party, two friends fixate on whether or not they should bring something. A minor social decision slowly mutates into a hot, suburban crash-out involving a watermelon and a series of poor choices. As the day drags on, social obligation gives way to chaos under mounting heat, time pressure and unspoken expectations.”
