Produced by Verloren Productions 

A contained, character-driven drama set entirely in a cramped studio apartment.

This short film explores the world of sports betting through the eyes of Guy, a man whose life revolves around the constant battle between prediction and risk. Alone and obsessive, he spends every waking moment buried in screens—tracking injuries, stats, weather patterns—anything that might give him an edge.

Then, one day, he pulls off the impossible: a 16-leg parlay. A long-shot bet that lands him nearly $140,000. It should be the end of the story. A win. An escape. But when a new live bet flashes across his screen, he’s faced with a decision that tests the very core of his addiction.

Tense and intimate, the film unpacks the highs of luck and the lows of compulsion—revealing the quiet devastation of chasing certainty in a game built on chance.

Visual / Style Outlook

16 Legs explores the psychological toll of addiction, the illusion of control, and the tragic cycle of self-sabotage. Set entirely in one studio apartment, the film will use claustrophobic framing, screen-lit shadows, and immersive sound design to mirror the isolation and volatility of Guy’s world. With an intimate tone and a darkly ironic edge, the story captures the emotional highs and crushing lows of gambling—and the quiet devastation of losing everything in a single moment.
