Beautiful distance is a compelling romantic drama set against the backdrop of the high-stakes US tech industry (Seattle/San Jose). It tells the story of Arjun, a brilliant, perpetually under-resourced tech enthusiast juggling an F-1 visa and a dream of securing VC funding, and Anjali, a sharp, highly accomplished Program Manager shielded by the coveted stability of an H-1B visa. Their relationship is not a classic opposites-attract story, but a collision between two incompatible timelines: one built on speculative dreams and one built on absolute deadlines. The real distance, the doori, is not geographic, but the immense, practical gap between an F-1 student's financial precarity and a high-salaried manager's professional pressure, forcing them to choose between love and the hard-won security of the American Dream.

Jason, a studious and isolated college student, joins his adventurous friends on a spontaneous road trip to Miami. Overwhelmed by the chaos of the city, he seeks solitude at dawn on the shoreline—where he confronts an alligator and, in a flash of mortality, the unlived memories of family and friendship. Surviving the encounter, Jason embraces life, reconnecting with his friends as the sun sets. Shoreline is an AI-crafted cinematic short that blends realism, suspense, and emotional depth—challenging us to ask: Are we living, or just existing?
