Special Jimmy
Jimmy, a troubled teenager grappling with voices only he can hear. As he confides in his father and trusted friend Theresa, the line between reality and imagination blurs, leaving Jimmy questioning who and what in his life is real.
Inspired by a true event, this short film, directed by Cho Jun Ming, depicts the inner struggles faced by Jimmy, a troubled teenager
who hears voices other people do not hear, believing others are plotting to harm him. He shares his thoughts with his father and
Theresa, a trusted friend who stands by him. The boundaries between reality and imagination become blurred when Jimmy's
schoolmates showed him a video recording of him speaking to himself. Is Theresa just a figment of his imagination? Is his
encounter with his father part of reality?
