Experiencing Interruptions?

NIGHT SHIFT

In a grimey, alternate future, Garrett (Caleb Irwin) works at an all night, roadside, service station. Although the job is grueling and the hours are long, a few people may help him understand that, even in the most ordinary places, a bit of kindness goes a long way. Based on a short story written by director Jackson Riley and music composed by Owen Horn, the film explores the idea of viewing those around you with empathy rather than as a stranger or a customer.
