Waydowntown
Welcome to life at the bottom of the food chain.
Directed by Gary Burns
Produced by Burns Film Ltd., CITY-TV
A darkly comedic office satire about four workers trapped in an absurd bet that spirals into psychological unraveling within the sterile confines of a downtown core.
Four young office workers have a bet going to see who can last the longest without going outside. In the maze that is the downtown core of a large city, glass skywalks connect apartment buildings, office towers and shopping malls. Its day 28 of the bet and over the lunch hour, as the office prepares for the company founder's retirement party, things start to seriously unravel.
