Storyline
Four loners cross paths one fateful evening. Their every move in secondary spaces is being recorded via CCTV and yet they go about their lives unaware that they are being watched.
Surveillance explores primary vs secondary territories and how a person’s comfort level will often carry into public spaces without realizing that they are being captured on camera.
