A character impersonator struggles to earn a living on Hollywood Boulevard from photographs he takes with tourists in an unrecognizable costume. On returning to his LA river encampment, he finds the police confiscating his tent. Without a sense of place or purpose, and a loose grip on reality due to the conspiratorial podcast he listens to, the impersonator sinks deeper into his character’s fantasy world.

Workers Leaving the Googleplex investigates a top secret, marginalized class of workers at Google's international corporate headquarters in Silicon Valley. The video documents the yellow-badge-wearing ScanOps Google Books workers, while simultaneously chronicling the complex events surrounding my own dismissal from the company. The reference to the Lumière Brother's 1895 film Workers Leaving the Factory contextualizes the video within motion picture history, suggesting transformations and continuities in arrangements of labour, capital, media, and information.

Rich, the protagonist of this film, is a mix of my father and an imagined character who worked in film processing at Kodak until a workplace accident left him blind. He then started working in the dark, packaging film with other blind Kodak employees until they were laid off as the company lurched towards bankruptcy. When we catch up with Rich, he’s been unemployed for ten years and seems to be gradually losing his mental faculties. He spends his time in the Rochester public library, shuffling through copies of tape recordings that Kodak founder George Eastman made near the end of his life in 1930. The story is told through Rich’s point of view.
