Post-merger, Justine Jason is tasked with the systematic resizing of the newly formed company, but when she fires company veteran Mitchell Lamb he does the unthinkable and the outcome pushes her over a psychological tipping point.

Justine Jason (Tattiwana Jones) has to reorganize a corporation business by making brutal decisions about the current staff of the company. 

Within the first minutes of the short film, big buildings frames and cold cinematography are present to us to give us a reflection of the capitalist environment. “Tick Tock” wants to place us in a frigid and soul-less place. 

The clock sound makes us understand the tensional situation that we have to explore with Mitchell Lamb (Jarret Wright), a company veteran, that has been 17 years with the company. He sees himself as a valuable member of his enterprise, but for them, he’s only a replaceable “part” with no face and even less a mind or future to care. 

In the desperation to safeguard his job, Mitchell will do unthinkable actions, even trying to finish with his life, images that will resonate in Justine’s head, who ironically, ends up being another victim of the system. 

Tick Tock, written by Jarret Wright, is a short film that - in the words of director Morgan I.P. Fics - showcases the emotional complexity of human beings treated as “cogs” in the hierarchy of the capitalist corporate machine.
