Storyline
A young man gets a chance at a job he desperately needs, but only if he helps the manager cover up working an employee to death. This is a dark comedy about office work, corporate speak, and the work-life imbalance people have. The film explores the relationship between the new hire (Gurpreet) and his boss (Brad), and the shifting dynamic between the two as Gurpreet hangs the cover-up over Brad to get promoted.
Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Brad | Male 40 - 50 Years old |
Description Brad is a character who believes he was born to maximize worker productivity. He is to the point and serious, but also ignorant of the concerns of his employees. He is like an evil Michael Scott. Brad does not think working an employee to death or covering it up is wrong as long as he is protecting the company's and his public image. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Gurpreet | Male 25 - 31 Years old |
Description Gurpreet is desperate for a job. Coming out of university, he thought a job would come easily, but after many failed interviews, he has realized getting work will take a lot more than a good résumé. Despite his meek demeanour, he is a fast learner and will quickly realize how to gain an advantage from his situation in the film. | ||
