Experiencing Interruptions?

Employable Me

Chloe is a desperate and confused millennial whilst Michael is a cynical and underperforming consultant; both are in process of seeking clarity in their life’s purpose. Employable Me tells the story of these two individuals whose lives are threatened by the unforgiving confines of corporate capitalism and the status quo. Revolving around the events of a top consulting firm’s assessment center, in which individuals vie for a position in the firm, this film addresses issues of disillusionment, identity and compromise.

Director Statement

In the spirit of Employable Me, I’d like to share a few words. Regardless of how one does it, we all grow up in our own ways and in our own time. Our purpose as spiritual beings is to follow our bliss, seek our passions, and live our lives as inspirations to each other. Everything else flows from that. When we find inspiration, we need to take action for ourselves and for our communities. Even if it means making a hard choice or cutting out something and leaving it in your past.
And so it is with these parting words that I finally surrender this film, our film – EMPLOYABLE ME to the world. Thank you all so much for your support, my name is Edward Wong. Enjoy yourselves, respect each other, but most of all, have fun!
