Lapsis

Delivery man Ray Tincelli finds himself in financial struggle, after trying to support himself and his brother with sketchy hustling jobs. The answer lies within a cabling job in a growing niche corner of the gig economy. The work: pulling cables deeper into the wilderness. Ray’s given a supposedly unique username but soon dark secrets emerge and hostility from long-time cabler veterans raise the stakes.

After a series of documentaries, director Noah Hutton ventures into the fictional world with this debut feature. Channeling the problems with the gig economy and critiques on modern workforces, Lapsis acts as an impending prophecy of faceless corruptors of inequality. This sci-fi world asks us how far away this dystopian future really is, or if, in fact, it is already here.
