Astig is an intriguing short from Jerrold Tarog, spun off from his feature Confessional. It dives deep into the psyche of a minor character, exploring themes of guilt and redemption in a raw, almost documentary-like style. The pacing is tight, clocking in under 30 minutes, yet it manages to paint a vivid picture of the character's inner turmoil. The performances are understated but impactful—there's an authenticity that feels very much alive. You can see Tarog's knack for creating an atmosphere filled with tension and moral ambiguity. For those who appreciate interconnected stories in cinema, this piece adds a layer of depth to the world he built in Confessional.
