Night Fishing (2024)

Car Marketing, Silence Outsold It All

This short film doesn’t chase after plot twists, layered backstories, or emotional dialogue. It barely uses dialogue at all—just fragmented radio transmissions floating through the dark, pulling the viewer along without ever spelling things out. And that’s the point

It clocks in under 15 minutes—closer to 8 or 9 without credits—but that brevity is part of its strength. There’s no need for a drawn-out narrative. The brand behind this short understood that less can be more, especially when silence, precision, and perspective do the heavy lifting. Rather than a traditional story, the film presents a concept: presence, tension, and technology in motion. The vehicle becomes the lead character. The camera—mounted on the car—becomes the narrator

There’s no mistaking this for a regular commercial. It’s marketing, yes, but done with discipline and intent. No flashy slogans, no staged voiceovers, no characters spelling out the product’s benefits. The car simply drives. It watches. It reacts. And in doing so, it tells a story that’s sleek and unsettling

What stands out isn’t just the car-cam technique or the eerie night-time atmosphere. What matters more is how seriously the creators took storytelling. This could’ve easily become just another ad with jump cuts and hashtags. But instead, it lands somewhere closer to cinema—a self-contained piece that respects attention spans and visual intelligence. It’s not made to sell in the traditional sense. It’s made to engage. And it works

Especially among younger viewers, this struck a chord. It’s fast, stylish, and different—almost like a “snack movie.” A bite-sized film that proves a brand can step into cultural storytelling and still stay on-brand. Not everything has to be a feature-length statement. Sometimes, 9 minutes is enough to leave a lasting impression

Overall, this short movie doesn’t entertain conventionally. It doesn’t try to. Instead, it demonstrates. Not just what a car can do—but what branded content can become. Bold. Minimal. Smart

Catch and Release

For what it is, this was a very good short movie. It will take only a 10 minutes of your time and give you one scene of "night fishing" creatively done. We see the story through a car camera (dash cam), and luckily this car has 6 of them so we can use different angles to follow what is going on. The supernatural effect was done nicely. without much explanation. All in all, there are no many words in this movie, just a sentence at the beginning and at the end, so this is a visual movie and even if it is very very short, i will surely remember it. Catch it if you find it :)
