Writing
Diner dialogue that weaponizes small talk.

Director
Michael Donovan Horn
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Horn shot the entire diner sequence in chronological order to keep cast paranoia authentic—actors didn't know the killer's identity until their reveal scene.
The 'diner whodunit' structure deliberately echoes 1950s B-noirs like The Hitch-Hiker, but swaps Cold War anxiety for true-crime podcast-era suspicion of everyone.
