CALL CONNECT | Omeleto

On her first shift at a crisis helpline, a young volunteer takes a call from a man who has decided to end his life, and finds that the scripted responses she was given are useless against real despair. Shot in a single continuous take that pushes slowly toward her face, it's a spare, devastating two-hander about what it actually takes to reach someone.

Why it's free: Free on Omeleto's channel; Omeleto licensed the film for distribution from filmmakers Indianna Bell and Josiah Allen.
