DORITOS CRASH THE SUPER BOWL AD CONTEST | OFFICE DISASTER | SUNDAY, OCT. 27
OFFICE DISASTER
Open on a busy office with the hustle and bustle of workers moving about. Jacob enters his boss’s office, and drops off some documents. He spots Doritos up on the top shelf and lights up like he struck gold. The Doritos are out of reach so Jacob sets his coffee mug on the shelf quickly, then grabs the rolling chair, and steps up onto it, wobbling slightly as the chair shifts beneath him.
Suddenly the chair flips out from under him. Jacob flies through the air and lands on the desk, pulling the shelving unit over in the process. An avalanche of binders, books, and one hot coffee comes raining down on him. He lets out an epic SCREAM!
Instinctively, he kicks over the computer monitor sending it crashing to the floor, sparks flying. In his panic, he knocks over pens, papers, and a potted cactus. He rolls off the desk landing directly on the cactus. His eyes go wide with pain as he lets out another SCREAM!
Flailing around, Jacob gets up, rips off his shirt - cactus still attached, and throws it across the room. It flies through the air like a missile, smacking into a framed picture of the boss’s family which shatters to the ground.
He picks up the bag of Doritos from rubble to the applause of a crowd of co-workers now gathered on the other side of the glass wall.
JACOB: I regret nothing!
He takes a bite of the Doritos.

JACOB: I put the budget report you asked for on your… (looks around then points on the ground) there.

LOCATION
We are renting an empty office building at:
10 Bedel Blvd
Batesville, IN 47006
It is attached to ANYTIME FITNESS, and across the way from LAROSA'S PIZZA, SKYLINE CHILI, and ARBYS.
There is plenty of parking.
Inside is plenty of space to relax out of the way of filming in a break room with snacks / drinks.
NO BATHROOMS in the office building! The building is for rent, and the electric is on but the water is off. If you need to use a bathroom there is a LaRosa's Pizza next door.
NO COFFEE will be on set. If you are a coffee person there is a Dunkin' close by. We will have water and juice available to drink.
SPECIAL DIET? We will have a variety of simple craft services snacks, but if you are a picky eater or are on a special diet, you are more than welcome (and encouraged) to bring your own food.
SKYLINE CHILI FOR LUNCH around 1pm. I get free food at Skyline (see menu), and will walk there for lunch. If you do not like the food at skyline (shame!) I will buy whatever you want from LaRosa's Pizza (see menu) or Arby's which are both also within walking distance.
