Experiencing Interruptions?

From the Office

Go to work. Drink the terrible coffee. Fight off the blob from outer space that is eating you alive. And turn in those reports! A takedown of bureaucracy and apathy.

Director Statement

This film was a fever dream inspired by masters like David Lynch and Terry Gilliam. The idea did come from a dream I had about a man who worked in an office and was consumed by a blob, while no one cared. This film was original shot decades ago, but has been completely re-edited, scored with original music and features a new, more expansive ending.
