Manila Running is a captivating 15-minute short film directed by Anuj Gulati that takes viewers on a chaotic and humorous journey. The story follows Jacques, a man who has just landed in the Philippines for a medical operation that he is far too embarrassed to talk about. However, his plans are instantly derailed. Instead of a straightforward hospital visit, Jacques finds himself trapped in a frantically escalating series of bizarre predicaments. From one amusing obstacle to the next, his situation spirals out of control with no apparent end in sight. This fast-paced comedy short masterfully blends tension and humor as the protagonist navigates the overwhelming energy of his surroundings. Celebrated at prestigious events like the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival and Palm Springs International ShortFest, this award-winning short film delivers a relatable yet wildly unpredictable adventure. Manila Running perfectly captures the anxiety of being in a foreign place when everything that can go wrong, goes hilariously wrong.
