HOST intends to explore the ethical consequences of transforming real violence into entertainment through the story of Alice Welsh, the host of a successful true crime podcast whose live broadcast spirals into a psychological nightmare after a caller claims to be a notorious serial killer. As the tension escalates in real time, the project examines how media sensationalism, audience voyeurism, and the pursuit of attention can blur the boundaries between empathy, exploitation, and spectacle. Through a contained psychological thriller format, HOST aims to provoke audiences into reflecting on society’s fascination with true crime culture and the human cost of consuming trauma as entertainment.
