MASTER CONTROL

NELSON A CUELLAR / AMERICAN UNIVERSITY

Joe, a Master Control operator at an Ohio TV station, finds himself in a world of shit (literally).  Bored of his job and of his life, Joe struggles to get through his unfortunate day.  He is tasked with cleaning up a mess left by a “senior producer” at the station and perform other mind numbing tasks all while trying to hang on to his last shred of dignity in front of the lovely programming director, Jill.  Joe finally must decide whether or not to take matters into his own hands.
