Experiencing Interruptions?

Flights

Calvin returns home from his usual long day at work to find that the elevator in his apartment building is out of order. His journey to reach his sixth floor apartment becomes more complicated when he realizes that it is not his steps that will bring him home, but his choices along the way that ultimately determine his fate.

Director Statement

Many of us get consumed with our jobs and let life pass us by. When you think about what this behavior leads to, it's disheartening. Parents neglect their children, people get stuck in front of their smart phones and computers and ultimately, lose their social skills and ability to stop and smell the flowers. In some European countries people work less hours, get more vacation time, longer pregnancy leave and in turn live less stressful lives and spend more time with their families. In New York City this go, go, go attitude is overwhelmingly prevalent. So, I thought it might be interesting to make a short film about it in a fun and entertaining way because I know deep down people are going to get it and then reflect. My principal character, Calvin, represents a person that fits this tragic description.
