Noah Hutton talks 'Lapsis', the gig economy and blue-collar sci-fi - Blunt Magazine

Once he takes on the job, however, it's a different story: walking through trackless miles of forest unrolling a reel of cable is not only gruelling for the flabby, middle-aged Ray, he's in competition with both more experienced cablers and a tireless little spiderlike robot that dogs his path – if it overtakes him, he loses his route. Even weirder, the fake electronic ID he used to get the job used to belong to someone else and is loaded with points that give him a serious edge. Where did that come from? And what does it portend? A sly, satirical slice of lo-fi sci-fi, Lapsis comes to us from writer and director Noah Hutton.
