Dead Enders
Directed by Fidel Ruiz-Healy, Tyler Walker
USA | 13 min | 2023
A disaffected gas station clerk finds out why they call it the “graveyard shift” after oil drillers set loose an ancient race of mind-controlling parasites.
Young and disaffected gas-station clerk Maya doesn't care about much, besides messing with her manager and getting her beer discount at the end of the midnight shift.
But after a sinister race of mind-controlling parasites are set loose by irresponsible oil drillers, Maya realizes that there might be more to life than spending all your waking hours stacking shelves for a corporate overlord.
