Director’s Statement
The idea for this short film originated when Skyler was in elementary school. As a child, they found school extremely boring and constantly stared at the clock. At some point, they began to think of the clock as their "best friend."
When Skyler turned fourteen, they wrote the script, attempting to process the feeling of being trapped in the school system. It wasn't until later, while actually making the film, that Skyler realized they weren’t the only one staring at the clock, waiting to go home.
Far too often, it’s considered perfectly normal to spend life waiting for the weekend, waiting for retirement. There are so many people who would make the same choice as Frank: "Better than my current job."
