Whatever It Takes

Directed by Chip Street - Written by Chip Street & Chris Cooney - Produced by Chip Street & Chris Cooney - Starring: Sean Cameron Krohn, Gerry Gerringer, Jon Cooney A mid-level office manager finds his power and authority at risk when a quiet visitor challenges his competence. As loyalties are questioned, office politics become a deadly power struggle, and corporate success means doing whatever it takes. This darkly comic look at the struggles of a mafioso middle manager was initially conceived as an equipment test. After the script captured the imagination of local actors, and family & friends threw in their support in the form of costuming, props, and crew, it grew into a full fledged production, shot at night, in a friend's warehouse, for the cost of pizza and beer. COMMENTS "What's for sale? Who is for sale? And how to negotiate your worth in a falling market, are just some of the questions tackled by this inventive short. I saw "Whatever it takes" in a private screening before it hit the festivals. "Whatever it takes" at its core is a psychological thriller. It's got snappy "Tarantino" like dialogue that cleverly fuels this story to a twisted and unexpected end. It suffers a bit from the low budget blues. But there's a story here! An intelligent story about selling power, leverage, and how to determine worth. How do you tell a cool story in a weekend, with a few hundred bucks in a warehouse? You do what ever it takes!
