Take a look at the short film, ‘Text Tone,’ which was written and directed by Chicago filmmaker Sanicole and produced by Overxposed Productions. The short stars Ashley Snow and Corey Williams.
Six months into a blossoming relationship, Corey (Corey Williams) receives a text from his girlfriend Snow (Ashley Snow) about meeting her father for the first time. Nervous about the meeting and struggling to communicate his affection for her, he resorts to ignoring her calls and texts. On the night of the dinner with her father, he doesn’t show.
The next morning, he checks his voicemail, listening on as a distraught and frustrated Snow admonishes him. Before ending the message she tells him he’s lost the right to speak to her and wants nothing to do with him. When he attempts to explain himself in a voicemail, he finds that he can’t speak. Mute and rejected, Corey exasperates all avenues to finally show her how he feels and try to win her back.
