Stephen is a filmmaker and video producer currently based in Los Angeles. He has worked at CNBC, Insider, Conde Nast, and others while producing award-winning short films and web series.
In 2021 I found a new job. The process was grueling and alienating as we all navigated glitchy Zoom interviews. I couldn't help feel a sense of profound helplessness as I interviewed for yet another meaningless job that wouldn't benefit mankind, while the world around me fell apart.
Instead of doing something about it, I decided to direct an experimental short animated film to explore the ennui that comes with living under capitalism in 2022 America.
