Told entirely from the perspective of a 999 call-centre operator as she must guide a terrified mother and her child to safety through a life-threatening fire, this short film explores how tension and emotional stakes are constructed through voice, sound design, and off-screen space. Utilising character perspective and real-time pacing, Operator is a tension-filled drama that demonstrates how cinema can generate suspense and character through absence rather than spectacle.
