// biography
Hal Whitman is a writer and director working in short-form narrative, based in Los Angeles. His films are built around a small cast and a single interior pressure, shot close and cut so the audience arrives at a feeling slightly before it arrives at the explanation.
stop it. (2026) is his most recent short. It follows an anxious young man whose day repeats while his own brain supplies a montage of self-help advice he never asked for. It runs 11 min and was shot over three days in Los Angeles, with a cast of six.
