CONTEST! L.A. Geeks Win Tickets To DRONES Premiere!

Brian Dilks is an Office Drone. He spends his days at OmniLink in comforting monotony: facilitating the movement of product around the country, faxing, copying, joking with his best friend, Clark, and harmlessly flirting with fellow cubicle-mate, Amy.

But how well does anyone really know the people they work with?

When Brian discovers an improbable secret about his best friend, everything in Brian’s world changes and his safe life of workplace detachment is no longer an option.

Shocked out of his mind-numbing routine by this new discovery, Brian throws himself into a star-crossed romance with Amy––yet close encounters of the office kind, like sales or intergalactic war, is an uncertain business.

The Los Angeles Premiere of Drones will be hosted by the non-profit group 826la next Tuesday, April 13, 2010 at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood. In attendance will be many of the film’s stars including: James Urbaniak (“The Venture Brothers”), Samm Levine (“Inglourious Basterds”), Paul F. Tompkins (comedian, “Best Week Ever”), Angela Bettis (“All My Friends Are Funeral Singers”), Dave (Gruber) Allen (“Freaks & Geeks”), and Marc Evan Jackson (comedian, “The Slammin’ Salmon”). Also in attendance will be the films co-directors, Amber Benson and Adam Busch (both formerly on “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”), and the films co-writing team of Ben Acker and Ben Blacker (Acker & Blacker), writers of the “Thrilling Adventure Hour” as well as many more celebrity friends of the cast and crew.
