A comedy about chain letters. Yes, really. And it might break your brain.

Please Forward (2009)

Office satireEconomic anxietyAbsurdist micro-comedy

Overview

Comedy

Chain Mail International has had a banner year; the tanking economy is proving an unexpected boon for the firm’s time-honored business — creating and forwarding chain letters. Through the lens of the firm’s holiday party, we get a glimpse into the inner workings of the business, and come to see that as progress moves relentlessly onward, not everyone will be sharing in the group’s success.
