The Underdogs return in Apple’s The Whole Working From Home Thing, directed by Mark Molloy. The sequel follows the same cast of charming characters as they prepare for another last minute presentation with their notorious boss, Vivian, but this time the stakes are higher, the timeline is tighter and the budget has been slashed. Filled with hilarious and relatable moments, the film speaks to the universal and often bizarre experience of work-from-home life during quarantine.
What did the judges have to say?
"It was diversely and authentically cast, strongly directed and socially relevant while remaining original. – Amirah Tajdin"
Amirah Tajdin, Director, RadicalMedia + Scheme Engine + Loveboat
"The film was beautifully edited. It was longer than the standard films but time just flew by. It was constantly entertaining, the story flow was built well and it was all mixed in with stylistic editing."
