Limitations increase creativity and Lost in Transportation is living proof of that. The shoestring budget is obvious through the wardrobes and locations but the small story has a big heart. Joe Hansard does an excellent job playing a reserved Joe Schlepp while Frederick Strother is convincing as Hansard's mentor and friend. Joy Haynes shines as the bubbly and cordial Miss Randallstown while Pete Bergen rounds out the cast as the quintessential overbearing manager. At times a slice of life and at other moments surrealistic; this short film packs an insidious punch and makes for a worthwhile view.
Schlepp is hoping to transcend the quagmire of luggage that unfortunately defines his predictable life. Fred is Schlepp's co-worker; dispensing advice on how to mentally survive the Sisyphean efforts of their thankless jobs and deal with their ubiquitous manager. Unknowingly for Schlepp, his future is looking brighter. The very luggage he despises might be his salvation. Life isn't so bad after all, even if you do have baggage.
