Unusual Phobias (2024)
This short documentary follows two people with unusual phobias talking about their phobia and how it affects their lives. The director wanted to make this documentary to show the affect of unusual and uncommon phobias on people's lives, and how they make them feel. Despite the fact they may be considered 'weird' things to fear, they are as valid and real as a fear of heights or spiders.
