Neon Phantom 

BR | 2021 | 20'  

João works on the streets of Rio de Janeiro as a delivery driver in the so-called gig economy. He and his friend dream of buying a motorbike, travelling around the country and turning their lives into a musical. However, their operatic and beautifully choreographed fantasy collides with the harsh reality of low wages, unsympathetic customers and constant threats. Neon Phantom is a thought-provoking short film about inequality and imbalance of power in zero-hour contract employment.
