SYNOPSIS

A fresh faced video director sees an opportunity to prove himself in a voice-over recording session for a company brand film. But with a script that reads like corporate nonsense, clients holding the creative process hostage and voice over talent refusing to cooperate, preventing a train wreck is looking rather unlikely.
