GLOW: Mysterious Sci-Fi Short Film Conveys Puzzling Narrative

By B.J. Murphy

Some of the best sci-fi ever developed were those which forced people to have their own interpretations of the overall storyline. The goal is never to solely tell a story and hope people enjoy it; rather to convey a story that can be loosely defined through various perceptions. GLOW is that kind of story – a sci-fi short film, directed by Douglas Jessup.

GLOW Synopsis

A suspicious threesome checked into Vern’s beloved desert motel three nights ago and strange things have happened ever since. One of them sits outside in their car while the other two haven’t left the room. The motel lights intermittently pop and flicker, while the electric meter spins out of control. With his patience unraveled, Vern is determined to figure out what the hell is going on.

Directed by: Douglas Jessup
Produced by: University of Southern California

Glow 2
Winner of the 2014 Panavision Future Filmmaker award, Jessup’s GLOW is an unorthodox short film which takes place at a Motel in the middle of nowhere. Each character in the story remains relatively unknown, except for the Motel owner Vern, who becomes increasingly suspicious of his more recent three guests. As Vern sneaks around, trying to get a better look into the room checked in by the guests, something strange occurs as the female of the three is shown hooked up to an odd machine while submerged in a flooding bathtub.
