The Highway Exit 0

Create a cinematic road-trip horror short aimed at US TikTok and YouTube Shorts audiences. A solo driver follows a GPS detour through the desert and sees an impossible highway sign labeled EXIT 0. Start with a dashboard-mounted 24mm lens, realistic windshield reflections, and steady forward motion beneath a starless night sky. Headlights carve through thick dust while distant radio static interrupts a country song. The driver passes the same abandoned gas station three times, each version more decayed than the last. Use sodium-vapor lighting, dark teal shadows, subtle camera vibration, and naturalistic interior sound. End with a rearview mirror close-up showing the driver’s face in the back seat.
