I really enjoyed this cleverly thought out short film set in a single location. It exemplifies the beauty in simplicity that is so key to short filmmaking. It has a very nicely set up, Hollywood glamour kind of look. It's a clear closed & composed frame using basic industry shots such as over-the-shoulder, point of view and 180 cuts.
It has a very clear cut narrative that is entirely conversation based - the acting is central to the film, this is a narrative film rather than a more typical style based short like Future Proof.
The film very cleverly luls us into thinking this is simply a board meeting, right up until the last moments, when we realise the employee has been drugged.

- has a slight socio-political message, possibly warning of the large american drug corporations and their reliability
- humours the audience whilst giving them a tense environment also
- the quick cuts enhance the conversation, especially when at high speed
