Dear Log,
«Plastic Wolves, a first film by Caradog James. This is a Welsh Glengarry Glen Ross, stunningly acted by an amateur cast, mainly the director's schoolmates. The action takes place in a call centre, where employees who miss their sales targets are subjected to escalating degrees of humiliation. These range from having a balloon tied to your neck for every hour of failure to being forced to come to work in a dress. Language is brutal, foul and bigoted. Yet it was not the product of the director's mind; James wrote the script by scribbling it down verbatim from conversations he overheard while working in a call centre. The sweaty atmosphere reeks of fear for the job and loathing for the customers. You believe every word of it.»--at the end of an article about the Oberhausen short film festival
