Please Hold
Watch TrailerMarcos, a young man, finds himself trapped in an endless automated customer service loop after a drone arrests him for a violation he didn't know existed. His desperate attempts to reach a human operator become a surreal odyssey through a maze of voice menus, absurd regulations, and algorithmic indifference. Each new prompt drags him deeper into the bureaucratic nightmare of a near-future where humanity is the scarcest commodity and the right to an explanation is a luxury.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Cedric James-Taylor crafts the perfect satire of modern digital hell, elevating a universal frustration into an existential horror. The short film brilliantly uses its confined space and the monotony of dialogue to build claustrophobia and rage, transforming hold music into a tense thriller score.
What lingers after the final prompt is the bitter taste of recognition and a chilling question: how far into this automated trap have we already wandered? A sharp, brilliant mirror to our digital powerlessness. — MovieFinder Editorial

The sterile nightmare of a voice menu, the oppressive silence of waiting, flashes of absurd gallows humor.
