Night Shift
Tunde Adebimpe (NASTY BABY) plays OLLY JEFFRIES, an on-again off-again actor whose career has stagnated over the years and ends up gigging as a bathroom attendant in a LA nightclub, called “The Fix”. Quick easy, tax-free money to hold him over between jobs is what he told himself when he first tried it out one weekend at the suggestion of a friend, but quickly convinced himself it wasn’t so bad and found a strange solitude that agreed with him. It’s the joy he finds in being invisible, something he calls the art of disappearing.
Working in such intimate close quarters with random strangers provides a window for him to study human behavior, something he can use in creating believable performances if ever casted in something again, at least that’s what he tells himself. On this particular night, a series of random and sometimes strange, degrading encounters become too much to bear, as Olly is forced to confront not only a personal situation with his soon-to-be ex-wife TRACEY (China Shavers- MULLIGNANS), but also the disrespect and blatant disregard of his customers.
