One Magpie is a short, abstract film exploring the emotional weight men carry in modern society. Inspired by being raised by my father and shaped by observing the men around me, the film brings softness and stillness into traditionally masculine spaces. The visual language leans into restraint, minimalism, and mood — with casting, styling, and environment working together to hold quiet emotion in focus.
