FOMO Forever
Award: Wood Pencil
Wood Pencil / Entertainment / Scripted Long Form / 2024
“What if you missed that one night that your friends will remember forever?” This question, also known as FOMO, was the driving force of our story, which follows a guy who gets so drunk he misses this momentous night; something he will regret forever. Throughout the film, his friends revisit that one magical night, gradually unveiling new parts to the story, who they met and inside jokes. Eventually he goes crazy, and the film ends with the payoff: “Drink less, Miss less”. Though exaggerated, the message is clear: an unhealthy drinking culture has longer-lasting effects than a hangover.
