A LITTLE WORK NEVER HURT ANYONE.

“Bold, singular, and impressive from start to finish. Completely insane. I loved it.” - David Ehrlich, IndieWire

An assistant will do anything to get a presentation in front of his boss… even set himself on fire. Starring Everett Osborne (SWEETWATER) and Tommie Earl Jenkins (DEATH STRANDING).

BURN OUT is a gonzo, high-octane horror story inspired by my post-concussive syndrome and all-consuming bosses. This short is about how we push ourselves in breakneck work environments and make disastrous compromises with our bodies and minds. Nothing is scarier (or more absurd) than what we can do to ourselves.

Produced by Jamie Lee Curtis and Film Independent. Filmed in the abandoned Quibi offices.
