Title: The Fifth Bench Genre: Psychological Drama
Description: The Fifth Bench is a gripping psychological drama that delves into the fragile boundaries between reality and illusion. After a life-altering incident, a man begins treatment under the guidance of Dr. Vedha and Dr. Esther, who prescribe him a strict medication schedule — one tablet in the morning and one in the evening. But when he forgets to take his evening dose, his mind slips into a surreal world where two mysterious, imaginary characters emerge. As the lines between what's real and what isn't begin to blur, these figures attempt to guide him back to reality.
Will he find his way out of the illusion — or be trapped in it forever?

My name is Abdul Subhan, and I'm from Andhra Pradesh. I graduated with a B.Com degree. After my graduation, I joined as an Assistant Director for a Telugu web series titled Dil Se, which premiered on ETV Win.
Following that experience, I launched my own startup called Light Frame Productions, where we provide photography and videography services for weddings and corporate events.
I have directed this short film, and it is proudly produced by my father, Hussain Sab. The Fifth Bench is my second short film as a director.
