In this chilling 30-minute short film from Gerson Vega, the dark underbelly of privilege unfolds as a seemingly respectable city figure reveals himself as a monstrous predator. By day, he moves through elite circles with impunity; by night, he becomes the architect of unspeakable crimes, meticulously documented on VHS tapes and distributed through a twisted black market network.

The atmosphere is thick with dread, a slow-burn descent into a world where monsters wear faces of respectability and the real horror lies in the tapes that bear witness.
