“The Gilded Age” star Ben Ahlers and Wesley Taylor have wrapped production on ‘Movin’ On Up,’ a workplace satire short film directed by Jacob Wahba.

Taylor (“Only Murders In The Building,” “Smash,” “Spongebob Squarepants: The Musical”) plays a directionless white-collar worker who is catapulted up the corporate ladder. He lands in a “world of MGM Musical and Silicon Valley,” where employees dance in the hallways and the company’s real purpose is a mystery.

The cast also includes Ainsley Seiger (“Law & Order: Organized Crime”), David Mattar Merten (“Enemy of the People”) and Denise Lute (“The Path,” “Up Here”).

The satirical short’s aesthetic was “inspired by the complexity of 1950s MGM musicals, films like ‘Singin’ in the Rain’ and the work of Vincente Minnelli and Busby Berkeley,” Jacob Wahba said Tuesday. The short film is Wahba’s film directorial debut, following his work on editorial campaigns, New York City theater productions, and 20th-century television series.

“It captures a uniquely 2020s feeling that we all have within us: that feeling of ‘I’m not sure what I’m doing, but if I don’t do it quickly, I might die.’ It’s disturbing in real life, but hilarious on screen,” said writer Patrick Daly.

Max Johnson, Chloé Ryan and Wahba are producing, with executive producers Frankie Seratch and David Treatman, co-producers Maria Noto and Daly, and associate producers Katherine McGuire and Joseph Hayes.

Pierre Marais (“As Apple Pie,” “Ghost Light”), most recently starring in Broadway’s “Sunset Boulevard,” served as editor. Veteran studio head Jason Velez (“The Meyerowitz Stories,” “When They See Us”) is the director of photography, while costumes are by Kala La Fortune Reed (“Only Murders in the Building,” “Musica”), production design by Lucas Degirolamo (“Run Amok,” “The Mill”) and choreography by Matthew Steffens (“Once Upon a Mattress,” “Into the Woods”). Joseph Hayes (“The Alto Knights,” “The Bear,” “Masquerade”) was the casting director. The composers are Natalia Karaseva and Christian McGhee and Zachary Schur is the music supervisor.
