Workstiff December 12, 2006
I’m at home recaping from a bad flu and spending a lot of time reading my (too trascurated due to my daily job) Bloglines feeds and watching movies. The longer the flu the tougher the job for my DVD/DiVX library: I’m not yet so frustrated to switch to (yeeeck!) afternoon TV programs so I looked around for some nice online video to watch and, via Sanbaldo blog, I found “Working Stiff“: a low-budget indipendent movie available for free on the web.
Here’s the synopsis:
Gene is a beleaguered corporate filmmaker who directs training videos for a large corporation. Facing a financial crunch that could cost him his home, he decides to use the company studio at night to produce an ”adult” version of the anti-sexual harassment training video he’s shooting during the day. Comedy, 94 minutes.
If you love comedies and know a little bit of big-corp life this movie is for you!
I also really enjoied the whole Brightcove experience (Brightcove is the platform the movie is distributed on): I followed the Allaire’s company first betas before joining Gabetti for an IPTV related RnD project for a big Italian company and I’m really amused of how brughtly great the product is now.

Dear Mr. Penzo,
I’m the writer, director and co-producer of “Working Stiff.” I just wanted to thank you for posting such a nice comment about my movie and for recommending it to people. I’m just a regular guy from Boston, Massachusetts, USA, so it’s very cool that a complete stranger thousands of miles away in a different country can watch my little movie, enjoy it, and put up a link so that other people can watch it as well.
Such is the magic of the Internet. And Brightcove is pretty cool, too. Thanks again for posting. I’m going to thank the Sanbaldo blog as well.
Sincerely,
Greg Joyce
