Relay is a restrained, procedural corporate thriller released in 2024, directed by David Mackenzie and written by Justin Piasecki. The film stars Riz Ahmed, Lily James, and Sam Worthington. On paper, it resembles a familiar genre setup: a shadowy intermediary, a powerful corporation, sensitive information that could cause serious damage if released. But Relay quickly separates itself from standard whistleblower thrillers by refusing to center exposure as victory.

However, as the short film "The Wrong Grandma" demonstrates, meticulously crafted dialogue functions as the primary engine of plot, character revelation, and thematic resonance.

Bigger doesn’t equal deeper — and the sequel proves it.

It’s the universal struggle of having a powerful gut feeling about a subject—a new business strategy, a complex report, a book you loved—and failing to translate that instinct into a clear, persuasive analysis.
