Room 8(A) is a short film about an old-aged man named Linus coming to terms with his years of avoidance from relapsing back into his hard addiction with sniffing drugs. The title inhabited it’s name by joining the words “Room” as in a therapist’s office and “8(A)” which is pulled directly from section 8(a) of the penal code which describes the committed offence for one to carry drugs, Linus having been that person. The film plays in two worlds, a Reality World and an Alternate Imagination world. As Linus experiences both worlds, it knocks into Linus’s senses that he needs to face his fear upfront, and confess that the journey to healing is prolonged and vulnerable.
