Apricot (Drama) | One Service Away From Failure

In a high-pressure kitchen, there’s no room for doubt.

As tensions rise and mistakes pile up, she must fight through the chaos to prove she belongs — not just to others, but to herself. A gripping drama about ambition, pressure, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.

The intensity, chaos, and shared drive to push through adversity revealed a deeper connection between all creative pursuits. At its core, this film is about believing in your own potential and fighting for your place — because no one hands you success. You have to earn it. #FilmShortage #DramaShortFilm #ChefFilm #IndieFilm FILM SHORTAGE ON SOCIAL MEDIA Instagram: https://instagram.com/filmshortage Twitter: https://twitter.com/filmshortage Facebook: https://facebook.com/filmshortage Website: https://filmshortage.com Film Shortage is home to the next generation of filmmakers, premiering some of the best and diverse short films online
