Hi Letterboxd :) this is Nicole, Writer/Director of The Cab. 

I made this film to help process some formidable encounters with suicide and depression and create a representation of my loved ones on screen that validated their experiences. With each passing day since making this film, it feels this experience is more universal and urgent than ever before. Movies are The Great Connectors and I am so grateful this film is now out in the world. If even just one other person can see themselves or their loved ones in this movie and not feel as alone then, to me, this movie is a success. :)

Thanks for taking the time to watch xx

worked on this !

Super impressed by this short. It was very well made and going in I was not expecting such well produced vfx, specifically the cityscape and the smoke I thought was really cool and well done. The score reminded me of the moody swells of Mulholland Drive’s score. I really enjoyed how the mini dv/vhs footage was inventively and seamlessly blended into the narrative. Would love to know what camera was used for that footage. Shout out to Nicole!

A beautiful, poignant film that is both timeless and extremely relevant to today. Such a unique portrayal of depression and its struggles that feel particularly pertinent to this New Yorker. "The weight of darkness is not a test of strength" is a line that will stay with me for a long time. Can't wait to see what this filmmaker does next!

congrats nicole!!!! 🖤

Smart and powerful short. Most movies that deal with suicide glorify the act itself or punish the subject as deserving to die. This did so much more than that: it fully examines both the darkness and light inside to fully realize a person going through this sensitive subject.

Absolutely fantastic work!!! Wow

emotional! the decision to set the film strictly inside the cab was a good one. both leads give fantastic performances too

Filmmaker to follow!!
