What Is ZIT About?

The premise of ZIT without spoilers.

This short film explores anxiety through the story of Gertrude, who is preparing to request a promotion at work. As she steels herself for the meeting, a small zit on her forehead begins to grow, becoming increasingly large and distracting. The film uses this visual metaphor to portray the overwhelming feeling of self-consciousness and the pressures of professional life.
