Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Chris McInroy made this as a proof-of-concept after his previous short 'Death Metal' gained festival traction. The entire film was shot in one day on a friend's property in Austin.
The film satirizes the expendable henchman trope popularized by Austin Powers and countless Bond films, but grounds it in genuine workplace anxiety about being 'the new guy.'
