Short Films, 21-Jun-2023
An office worker calls into a radio show to set the record straight about the nine to five work day. Sasha Lebedeva’s two-minute film, “Eight to Five,” observes an unsettled man during his lunch break airing a grievance about the Dolly Parton song/film, “9 to 5,” and the “real business world.” Concise and tightly knit, Lebedeva examines the delusions incited by an intense work culture in a series of eclectic frames. We previously featured Lebedeva with her 2020 lockdown short, “Stay at Home Movie.” -Jinho Myung. Director: Sasha Lebedeva. Starring David Orlowitz. Director of Photography: Fio Karpenko. Assistant camera: Pavel Gazdyuk. Original sound by Jason Tibi.
