A desolate cliff face, sudden lightning, and a woman in white set the scene for this unusual short film. "Meridian" is a twelve-minute program available on Netflix, but created not for viewers, but to challenge video codecs and streaming technology. Director Curtis Clark incorporates peculiar effects, likely for artistic reasons, designed to test the limits of video compression and the complexities of the digital streaming process.

Spoilers ahead
In a rain-soaked 1947 Los Angeles, Kevin Kilner as Mac Foster, a veteran detective, teams with his younger partner Reid Scott as Jake Sullivan to investigate the disappearances of three men who, on the surface, share little beyond a recent divorce—and a witness who swears there was something supernatural around the last case.
At Mac’s urging, Jake drives toward the cliff-lined coast. The sky opens up in a heavy downpour, turning the road slick and tense. In the rearview mirror, Elyse Levesque as Mysterious Woman briefly sits in the back seat; when he looks again, the seat is empty, leaving only the echoes of rain and a growing unease. The moment lingers like a warning, a whisper that nothing is as it seems.
