In a parallel present, delivery man Ray Tincelli is struggling to support himself and his ailing younger brother. After a series of two-bit hustles and unsuccessful swindles, Ray takes a job in a strange new realm of the gig economy: trekking deep into the forest, pulling cable over miles of terrain to connect large, metal cubes that link together the new quantum trading market.

Theatre People poster

Two no-name actors aren’t having the Broadway careers they dreamed of. The only thing that keeps them going are the small roles they’ve consistently booked in New York’s off-broadway theatre scene. But when they both fail to land good roles for the upcoming season, the future looks bleak. With no alternative, the actors decide they’re going to do the only thing that will get them back in the game: they’re going to become playwrights and write a new play with the biggest, longest, most dramatic scenes possible. And, most importantly, they’ll cast themselves.

Go 'behind-the-scenes' of a British nature show in this comic mockumentary: a camera-girl (with a unique sense of humor) and a marine biologist (with a unique passion for whales) go searching for the loneliest whale in the world (a real whale born with a unique vocal frequency, too high for the others to hear.)
