In the brisk five-minute comedy "Check-In," a simple hotel front desk becomes the stage for a hilariously escalating battle of wills. Directed by and starring Alexander Prater, the film follows a weary hotel clerk, played by Robert Heidarisafa, whose desire for a quiet shift is completely upended by the arrival of an exceptionally particular and demanding guest, portrayed by Jake Ragotzy. What begins as a routine check-in procedure quickly spirals into a masterclass of comedic frustration, as the guest presents a series of increasingly absurd and meticulous requests. The clerk's professional facade is pushed to its absolute limit, creating a brilliantly tense and laugh-out-loud atmosphere. This sharp, witty short film explores the universal agony of customer service with perfect comedic timing, promising a relatable and uproarious clash between one man just trying to do his job and another who believes the customer is always, infuriatingly, right.
