Sandiwara/Aborted/For the Sketch Film

2024, USA/Malaysia, 11 min.

Set in Malaysia, Sandiwara follows a middle-aged actress whose everyday life gradually becomes indistinguishable from the performances she gives on screen. Through a compact and emotionally precise narrative, Sean Baker explores performance, identity, and the blurred boundaries between reality and fiction. The title comes from the Malay word for “theater” or “performance.”

"It takes two to tango." Until there is room for only one. Two souls are trapped between love and annihilation inside a single room, where every embrace becomes both salvation and execution. One must be erased for the other to survive.

2026, Armenia, 26 min.

Constructed as a single-shot, slow-paced film, For the Sketch Film explores the experience of waiting, hesitation, and postponed decisions. Through its minimalist cinematic language, it gradually unfolds into an existential reflection centered on one recurring question: "Why isn't today the day?"
