I Don't Care if the World Collapses ( 2025)
When the star of her new commercial chooses not to continue filming due to pressing circumstances, a young producer suffers a severe blow to her career. She has to choose between her human side and the responsibilities of her profession.
“Karim Shaaban’s short film dramatises his experience directing a commercial to depict the Faustian deal we’ve made with capitalism.”
“A beautifully constructed, thought-provoking film about the burden of responsibility.”
“This twenty-minute short has managed to do something that many feature-length films often struggle to pull off—telling a story that keeps you invested from the first second to the last and then leaves you thinking about it for quite some time. ”
With I Don’t Care if the World Collapses, director Karim Shaaban plunges his protagonist into an impossible situation, forcing her to choose between her professional responsibilities and her personal compassion. It’s a decision that could haunt her, revealing just how far she’s willing to go in the name of her work.
