Last May I took a look at Standards of Ethical Conduct, a short film from Roman Hardgrave. In short, it is hilarious. In long, it’s hilaaaaarious.
There’s good news for those who haven’t seen the comedy. No longer will audiences be held captive in movie purgatory waiting for a “with it, hipster” theater to show it. It’s now available online so check it out.
Below is the super official press release:
The highly acclaimed office comedy, “Standards of Ethical Conduct”, will make its online debut on March 11th, 2010.
Office managers around the country are embracing for the predicted fall in worker productivity as cube-toilers watch the film in full resolution, for free, while pretending to do work.
“Standards of Ethical Conduct” made its theatrical debut in 2009, in Baltimore and Denver, to rave reviews:
“disarmingly sweet and funny” and “a refreshingly piss take on office culture” – Bret McCabe, Arts Editor, City Paper
“It’s a tightly scripted and well acted exploration of the absurdities of the corporate world…” – Lisa Morgan, Co-Host of “The Signal” on National Public Radio
“this comical and tightly woven office film has universal appeal” – 5280 Magazine
In “Standards of Ethical Conduct”, a 45-minute office comedy, filmmaker Roman Hardgrave presents the story of Heff, a cubicle-dweller who finds himself in conflict with his company’s nightmarish Standards of Ethical Conduct after an unfortunate incident at the annual company Halloween party. “Last Comic Standing” semi-finalist Chuck Roy co-stars as Heff’s stoner roommate, a man pursuing a very different sort of American Dream.
The movie has an extensive online presence, with the official site at www.StandardsOfEthicalConduct.com, the director’s blog at blog.dozapictures.com, and feeder sites on Facebook, YouTube and MySpace.
