Shot on an iPhone X, Missed Call explores Victoria Mapplebeck’s relationship with her teenage son, as they discuss how they’ll reconnect with his father, who’s been absent for a decade. How do you reconnect with a father who’s been gone for so long…what do you say, what do you text? Missed Call begins with the last message he sent in 2006 and ends with the first call to him over a decade later. The film explores the many ways in which our lives are lived and archived via the phones we hold so close. Missed Call was shot and directed by Victoria Mapplebeck and executive produced by Amanda Murphy and Debbie Manners.

Missed Call was the first commissioned short film to be shot on the iPhone X.
