Anna Akana has released the third of 12 short films she plans to release in 2014, and it excels just as much as her first two. It’s titled Emergency Call, and it’s a 150-second slasher film.

Color me impressed. Akana is establishing herself as one of the most intriguing short film directors on YouTube, and her channel is well worth subscribing to at this point, since there are still nine more shorts on the way.
