A LITTLE WORK NEVER HURT ANYONE.

“Bold, singular, and impressive from start to finish. Completely insane. I loved it.” - David Ehrlich, IndieWire

An assistant will do anything to get a presentation in front of his boss… even set himself on fire. Starring Everett Osborne (SWEETWATER) and Tommie Earl Jenkins (DEATH STRANDING).

BURN OUT is a gonzo, high-octane horror story about the disastrous compromises we make with our bodies and minds in breakneck work environments. Nothing is scarier (or more absurd) than what we can do to ourselves.

Produced by Jamie Lee Curtis and Film Independent. Filmed in the abandoned Quibi offices.
