This short story follows Steveo, an average worker who is unsatisfied with working in his corporate job. On the day he is due for his performance review, he goes into work eager to impress his boss, yet things don’t go as planned.

My journey here at Loughborough has led me to discover my love for creating my own worlds from scratch, from the sketchbook to the screen. This film has taken much preparation and has taught me a lot about the nature of filmmaking. This film serves as a projector for my own personal thoughts and fears about being a creative person in the current social climate.
For the past year, the props have been developed, and the set has been refined to create a film that feels consistent with a strong aesthetic that pairs with the story I am telling. This film would not be what it is without the wonderful people who have helped me out. Thank you for doing the weird and wacky stuff in order for me to bring my vision to life.
