Filmed entirely in the first-person perspective using GoPros, “Bad Day at the Office” follows Karl (Hannah) after he wakes up in a wrecked hotel room with no memory of what’s happened, where he is, or even who he is. When he discovers a dead body in the bathtub, it sets into motion a terrifying and explosive series of events that force Karl and hotel maid Molly (Mitchell) on a blind descent into a deceptive world of confusion and conspiracy.
Producers on “Bad Day at the Office,” which is currently shooting in several locations around London, include Andreas Roald (“Triangle of Sadness,” “Memoria”), Keong Cheung and Ioanna Karavela (“Redcon-1”). “Bad Day at the Office” was written by Oliver Morran (“The Experiment”) and Cheung, from a story by Cheung.
The production is working closely with Equal Access Network, whose mission is to sustain and develop London as a global content production hub and promote its diverse, rich film culture.
Action Xtreme is the genre division of Sovereign, the U.K.-based production and distribution company founded by producer Roald.
