Voice of Frank the Robot in the short film “Human
Resources of Ugago”, directed by Ennio Ruschetti and
David Oesch, Zurich University of the Arts
Frank confronts Dave, the last human employee at UGAGO -
a hip, modern, stock-footage company. Dave hates his job,
the group activities, and the annoyingly exuberant team
spirit of his robot colleagues. He does his very best to
seclude himself from everyone at his office, as he is
convinced about his otherness and superiority to his robot
coworkers. One day when he rashly refuses yet another
friendly gesture from them, the robots have had enough of
his behavior and decide to burst his bubble of arrogance.
