Panopticon is a short psychological thriller about a young woman, her aging partner, and her secret lover sharing an evening in a quiet suburban home — where a hidden camera has been recording everything. The film explores surveillance, intimacy, and moral complicity through contained, tension-driven storytelling, centering a Latino elder as its morally complex antagonist. Written and directed by Carlos Arroyo Jr, the film will be produced on a $10,000 budget with a paid cast and crew, and is intended for a festival run targeting Sundance, TIFF, SXSW, BFI, Slamdance, and MIFF.
