Awayy(2022)

Awayy is a short film that follows a small-town waitress on the brink of reinvention. As she prepares to leave for New York City and start a new life, a massive solar flare strikes Earth, derailing everything. The story captures a pivotal moment—ambition colliding with cosmic chaos—as the protagonist grapples with uncertainty and the loss of her carefully planned escape. Blending intimate character drama with speculative sci-fi elements, Awayy explores what happens when fate intervenes at life's turning points.
