Matthew Zeno’s The Scorpion is a taut, pulse-pounding short film that lingers long after the credits roll. Inspired by the brutal world of South American cartels, Zeno crafts a gripping narrative exploring the limits of humanity under survival’s most unforgiving demands.

With a fresh, instinctual approach to directing, Zeno extracts raw performances that blur the line between character and reality. The Scorpion is more than a film—it’s an experience that leaves audiences questioning the nature of change and fate.
