Rise and Grind Inc.
Rise and Grind Inc. is a satirical ad campaign that explores the false sense of productivity that Capitalism sells to us every day and challenges the culture of overworking as being a good thing for our lives.
It’s based on these three Western Sydney characters and how the modern toxic work culture has negatively impacted those from marginalized backgrounds.
Meet our overworked and underappreciated characters Mikki, Jimmy and June played by actors from the amazing PYT Ensemble: Ayah Darwich, Evan Adam, Marie-Jo Orbase.
