Synopsis
Infuriated by his mindless desk job, Charlie sets out to quit, only to be stopped in his tracks by his personal inability to take a risk. After much prodding from an annoying roommate and a growing fondness towards a co-worker, Charlie must decide if he can muster the strength to actually put himself out there, despite the outcome.
Directors statement
One of my first jobs was working at a call center. And I hated it. So much. I only lasted there a few months, but I took with me many character quirks and stories which would later inspire my first short film, The Fish Out of Water.
