“Cruise” by Sam Rudykoff

A telemarketer must convince callers that a “free cruise” giveaway is not a scam, or face death.

We’ve all received scam phone calls, but what about the person making the calls? Cruise is a dark workplace satire about a hapless telemarketer trying mightily to give away a free cruise. If he fails, there will be dire consequences.

FROM THE DIRECTOR

"This is a movie about the feeling of needing a job you don’t even want, which I think most of us have experienced at some point.

It’s often the worst, lowest-paying jobs in which employees are treated as totally expendable, and the only reason people work them at all is because they have no other options. So you get this situation where people are under enormous pressure to perform in jobs that the rest of the world views as completely meaningless. On paper, it’s absurd. In reality, it’s horrific. I tried to capture a little bit of both.”
