This story, inspired by a real-world Apple invention, takes us on a journey of a normal group of coworkers - the underdogs - creating something extraordinary. The action builds as the cuts get progressively faster, along with the frenetic track. The performances are authentic and nuanced so the key was how to effectively build the characters in just a few minutes.
