ANGELIKA’S NOTE

"Bracingly unexpected… this film will sneak up on you" (Indiewire). From Director/Writer Andrew Cohn (NIGHT SCHOOL, MEDORA), The Last Shift is an American story about two men struggling in the same town, while worlds apart. Stanley (two-time Oscar nominee Richard Jenkins), an aging fast-food worker, plans to call it quits after 38 years on the graveyard shift at Oscar’s Chicken and Fish. His last weekend takes a turn while training his replacement, Jevon (Shane Paul McGhie), a talented but stalled young writer whose provocative politics keep landing him in trouble. A flicker of camaraderie sparks during the long overnight hours in a quiet kitchen.
