Andrew Breedlove delivers a knockout performance as Terry in Drew Schettler’s uproariously comedic short. From the moment Terry faces the gut-wrenching reality of being sacked from his corporate job, Breedlove captivates with his impeccable timing and genuine emotional depth. The sheer brilliance of Schettler’s writing and direction shines through every scene, seamlessly blending humor, satire, and even a touch of thriller elements.
The narrative takes an unexpected turn when Terry stumbles upon a “We’re hiring” flyer during his microwavable meal, setting off a chain of events that leads him down a hilariously misguided path of naivety and crime. Jason Kappus’s voice-only role as Terry’s dubious new boss is an absolute treat, injecting the film with sharp wit and comedic brilliance, culminating in a well executed climax.
But it’s not just the performances that shine in this gem of a film; Bailey Miclette’s cinematography elevates every frame to cinematic perfection, capturing the essence of each scene with impeccable framing and visual flair. The seamless synergy between music and editing enhances the comedic tone, ensuring a delightful viewing experience throughout.
‘Unprofessional’ is absolute triumph, blending dark humor, satire, and entertaining performances to deliver a genuinely enjoyable experience. With its witty script and top-notch production value, this short deserves a few accolades – and then some. A must-watch for anyone craving a dose of comedic brilliance!
