Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Jesse Bean wrote, directed, starred, and probably made the coffee — this is peak DIY filmmaking desperation.

Cultural

Released post-Columbine but pre-Office Space cult status, it awkwardly straddles revenge fantasy and genuine workplace horror without knowing which it wants to be.
