    Doors: 7pm

    Welcome to a workplace where the deadlines are vague, the meetings are unnecessary, and the cameras catch everything. Inspired by the quiet comedy and tangled relationships of workplace mockumentaries, this fully improvised narrative follows a group of coworkers through one unforgettable day at the office and the after-hours party where their stories collide. No script. No safety net. Just another day at work.
