Profile of Cashback
The mood of Cashback is offbeat, clever, and witty. The plot centers around workplace situations, imaginary themes, and themes of mind and soul. It is a drama, comedy, and fantasy short film. Stylistically, Cashback is surreal. It takes place, at least partly, in a store. The setting is London. Cashback happens in contemporary times. The short film is known for being an award winner. It is especially suggested for a girls' night and a date night. Note that Cashback includes nudity.
Summary of Cashback
Ben Willis is an art student who works the night shift several times a week at the Whitechapel Sainsbury's. He's clear about the arrangement: he trades his time for money - cashback, as he calls it. We meet his co-workers, Sharon, Barry, and Matt, and their supervisor, Jenkins. Ben's colleagues are good at wasting time, but Ben talks to us about how he makes his shift go faster: by imagining that time has stopped. We see this late-night world of drudgery through Ben's eyes, as time does indeed stop, and he can get out his sketch book.
