Jon Ryan Sugimoto’s ‘Full Time’ Is a Stark Warning Against Falling Into the Trap of the 9 to 5 Grind
Taking his own fears and life lessons learnt from his parents Jon Ryan Sugimoto’s dark comedy short Full Time is a worryingly relatable, modern day parable about the pernicious effect adulting often has on our true passions. Previously featured on Dn with his more buoyant short Gut Punch, Full Time sees an outwardly absurd yet terrifyingly mundane role ensnaring a young skateboarder fresh out of school with his whole life supposedly ahead of him. Sugimoto dug deeper into the notion of offering up a message or lesson through his work in Full Time which is certainly not a thinly veiled critique of a life dedicated to the 9-5 but rather an outright warning to not let life pass us by. Full Time, whilst not subtle in its message, carries itself narratively as Sugimoto bizarre scenario is one that will resonate deeply with anyone who wishes they had more time to pursue their passions.
