ELEVATE
by Karen Pecota

Dylan Boom, USA, 2022

Filmmaker Dylan Boom addresses an unforeseen reality when government employees are overworked, tired and struggle in their personal life in his latest short narrative ELEVATE.

Tiffany (Tracie Thoms) is a security guard at a government building. She works the graveyard shift and enjoys it. Tiffany takes pride in her work making her work environment a safe place. One night, on a routine check of the building, Tiffany is aware of a security breach. She finally locates the intruder (Jason Butler Harner) and finds out that the person is a high ranking employee.

The man's reason for entering the building during off hours Tiffany comes to understand but not without concern. Their chance encounter will be a night she will never forget. (KP)
