Watching: Miss Dial

Overview

A dark period in the winter of the mid 1900's. The scene is set by a gentle hum of jazz and the tapping of raindrops. The story follows the protagonist, a rogue private investigator, who feels like working this job has him stuck in a never-ending loop. His loneliness has led to delusion and violence. Every ring of his phone, he's in high hopes that he will pick it up to be his 'lover' - instead, it's just another case for him to solve. Scenes become faster and clips start to repeat, the man is under crushing stress.
