Brian Dilks is an Office Drone. He spends his days at OmniLink in comforting monotony: facilitating the movement of product around the country, faxing, copying, joking with his best friend, Clark, and harmlessly flirting with fellow cubicle-mate, Amy. But how well does anyone really know the people they work with? When Brian discovers an improbable secret about his best friend, everything in Brian’s world changes and his safe life of workplace detachment is no longer an option. Shocked out of his mind-numbing routine by this new discovery, Brian throws himself into a star-crossed romance with Amy––yet close encounters of the office kind, like sales or intergalactic war, is an uncertain business.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Amber Benson played Tara on Buffy; co-director Adam Busch played her on-screen nemesis Warren. Office romance, but make it meta.
Shot for roughly $100,000, this represents the 2010s DIY sci-fi wave where filmmakers used cubicles instead of CGI to explore cosmic isolation.
