He’s joined in his pursuit by his best friend Maan, their one-time foe Ibrahim, and Orabi a teacher with a passion for filmmaking. In the middle of their senior year, they set out to produce a no-budget horror movie – a wild adventure that will put their futures at risk.

An experimental animated short film, “Whisper Down the Lane” takes us on a linear journey that follows a series of interconnected phone calls between 5 individuals, which eventually escalate into a bigger conflict. The film explores the concepts of communication, self-destruction, and their domino effect.
