Synopsis/Details
Drunk and on the run, a desperate CALLER approaches a phone booth in an alleyway at night. Reading a sticker in the booth advertising helplines for alcohol, gambling, and mental health, he phones each one but can't get the advice he's looking for. In the end, a final call to a suicide hotline solves all his problems at once. This short also serves as the opening sequence for a feature of mine.
