Asbestos

About This Movie

So, "Asbestos" is this raw drama that takes you into the lives of a couple scraping by, literally. Their mundane existence gets jolted when they stumble upon that old hedgehog costume, and suddenly the narrative dives into deeper themes of neglect and the weight of the past. The pacing is slow, almost hypnotic, which draws you into their reality, but it’s the atmosphere that really sticks with you—grimy landfills, the smell of scrap metal, and this haunting sense of decay. There’s a certain authenticity in the performances, very grounded, almost like you're peeking into their lives. The use of practical effects with the asbestos adds a layer of tension that lingers throughout the film, making it quite distinct from your typical indie drama.

Unique take on the struggles of everyday life.Atmospheric and immersive storytelling.Practical effects elevate the emotional weight.
