Director's Statement:

We shot this film during the COVID period. "The Dot" episode was part of a mini-series project called "Dark Tales". It took two years to complete the series because COVID-19 drastically delayed

our schedule. Despite all the external factors and limited resources, we found creative ways to overcome the problems and faced them as a team. Watching the final product and witnessing what

we achieved was the greatest satisfaction. "Dark Tales" is a mini-series that has four episodes, but all of them are based on different stories. The same actors and actresses appear as different characters in each story. The series revolves around genres such as mystery, metaphysics, and psychological thriller. The duration of each episode is between 10 and 30 minutes, and the total runtime is 73 minutes.
