8 Minutes Idle

Released 14 February 2014

If you get much weirder they're going to sack you.

Dan Thomas has always taken the path of least resistance - in his work life, home life and love life. When Dan finds himself kicked out of the family home, he's faced with no option but to secretly move into the call centre where he works. Suddenly, everything that he's previously taken for granted - a well-stocked fridge, clean clothes, his friends, his self respect, even his beloved cat - are either disappearing or conspiring against him.

As Dan's work/life balance spirals dangerously out of control, he's forced to break out of old habits and to dare to do something he has never had to do before - really care about someone other than himself.

8 Minutes Idle is a quirky romantic-comedy about the perils and traumas of your first job - when enforced promotion, murderous parents, and homelessness get in the way of true love. Based on the award-winning novel by Matt Thorne.
