The dark side of the gig economy is effectively skewered in this engaging indie satire. Ray (the magnificently named Dean Imperial) is a low-paid everyman in the US, struggling to afford the medical treatment his sickly brother desperately needs. An opportunity to make good money as a “cabler” comes up, a job that involves hauling miles of wiring through the woods, on foot, every day. Making things more complicated are the automated drones that would steal his share of the pay –a particularly nasty “incentive” to keep working – and the attentions of Anna (Madeline Wise), another cabler with insights into the dark truth behind this industry.
