"Waydowntown"
2000
Directed by Gary Burns

In this hilarious send-up of urban planning and cubicle life, a group of office worker friends bet a month's salary to see who can stay indoors the longest. What enables the challenge to turn into a drawn-out exercise is the fact that their downtown workplace is part of an interconnected maze of office towers, shopping malls, and apartment buildings. What they don't anticipate is a 21st century case of cabin fever. Canadian filmmaker Gary Burns' comedy is a smart and effective satire in the same vein as Office Space and The Office. Winner for Best Canadian Feature Film at the 2000 Toronto International Film Festival and The Toronto Film Critics Association.  83 minutes.
