Fox’s On the Lot is a reality TV show in which aspiring filmmakers compete to win a million dollar development deal with Dreamworks, and it features some great short films such as this one by Zach Lipovsky.
In Die Hardly Working, two coworkers get into a quite convincing imaginary fight. Their weapons include guns, bows and arrows, and swords, and they fight to the death.
I can actually imagine something like this happening in some of the places I’ve worked. Some jobs are just so boring that you have to do something crazy to keep yourself from going to sleep.
If you like this film, you can check out Zach Lipovsky’s other films from the competition at the On the Lot website, as well as the offerings from the other contestants. Don’t forget to vote for your favorites!
