THE COLLECTOR is a dark comedy thriller that follows Earl, a mild-mannered collector whose lifelong obsession finally reaches its breaking point. After his father discovers the staggering amount Earl has spent building his prized McFarlane collection, a simple confrontation quickly spirals into something neither of them expected.
Blending psychological tension with absurd humor, THE COLLECTOR explores the fine line between passion and obsession. Inspired by the culture of collecting—and based on an almost true story—this original short film asks how far someone will go to protect the one thing they love most.
