Watch the trailer below…
In this workplace comedy reminiscent of Office Space and “Severance,” misfit Orson (Jon Hamm) finds himself trapped in the absurdities of corporate life. As The Authority’s newest employee, Orson finds it difficult to connect with his enigmatic desk mate, Rakesh (Danny Pudi), as well as with the rest of his colleagues. His alienation deepens when he discovers a room he’s told doesn’t exist – a place that unleashes his true potential, leading to an ascent up the corporate ladder. Buoyed by his newfound confidence, Orson invites a receptionist (Sarah Gadon) into his sanctuary, sparking a climactic clash between the corporate world’s harsh realities and his own wild fantasies.
Featuring in the cast of Corner Office are Jon Hamm, Danny Pudi, Christopher Heyerdahl, and Sarah Gadon.
Corner Office arrives in cinemas and on digital platforms on August 4th.
