  • Misha, a delivery driver, bets he can have sex with his last pizza delivery customer, Sophie.
  • Erin, another delivery driver, is in love with her best friend, Robert.
  • The boss, Katie, is having an affair with a co-worker.

Cast

Production

The film was one of five movies produced by the AFC in association with SBS Independent as part of its "Million Dollar Movie Accord" initiative. The others were Fresh Air (film), A Wreck A Tangle, Mallboy and La Spagnola.[1]

The film was shot on super 16mm, and then blown up to 35mm, although it was never theatrically released.[2]

Release

The film premiered at the Asian Film Festival in Tokyo and was selected for screening at the Toronto International Film Festival.

David Stratton in Variety called the film "a visually strong and well-handled pic about a bunch of unattractive and mostly uninteresting young people. Low-budgeter shows strong directorial talent largely wasted on thin material that's unnecessarily full of tricks."[3]
