Abstract
“The Cinephile” is a short film. After a long movie-binging session and finishing his 1000th movie, our protagonist, the cinephile, notices something is off. It is soon revealed that due to his excessive consumption of cinema, he has gained the ability to manipulate his perception of the world as if he were a video camera, and he can employ various cinematic techniques as superpowers. Unfortunately, rather than using his newly gained powers for good, he almost immediately uses his powers to mess with others for his own personal entertainment.
