Directors Statement: The Switch at Work is a story about a character named Stan in a strange and absurd scenario. The short film was completed as a UCLA MFA thesis project. I aim to expand it into a series wherein the very same protagonist, Stan, is immersed in an entirely new strange and absurd scenario in each episode, generally having to do with moral dilemmas and the question of how to make a living.
