LOGLINE: Robbie and Wes race against the clock to get a free couch they found on Facebook Marketplace at the risk of accruing egregious (and interdimensional?) hidden fees from UMOVE.
Robbie, played by Rohan Padmakumar Wes, played by Wynton Jones Taking place within a universe where the mundane is hyperbolized and magic isn't questioned, "U~MOVE" is a surprising and humorous short that explores the scramble to do and be something important.

Personal Statement
Our creative team has been making projects since middle school, and are determined to make fun, exciting, powerful work. Our sets lead with kindness and are powered by people of various different backgrounds, each of whom bring their own unique perspective to the work. This short in particular hits home for us because it highlights the absurdity of being a 20-something in this bizarre modern world. Nowadays, sometimes getting a free couch can really feel like life or death, and signing a contract with late fees does feel like striking a deal with an extraplanar entity.
