Film: Non-Essential Personnel

Filed under: Film,Funny Stuff,Industry Talk — Tags: , , , , — Matt @ 12:46 PM

There is a funny story on how I stumbled upon this series. I was at the project funding website called Kickstarter, and for fun I put ‘private military’ into their search engine to see what would come up. Low and behold, someone actually put together a project or comedy about the administrative side of a private military company. (I also looked up Somalia, Iraq, and Afghanistan, and all sorts of projects popped up for those.)

Now of course the folks that put together this series  really trumped up the PMC with tons of stereotypes, to include anything that would give it some corporate evilness. But what makes it funny is to watch the admin folks go through all of the ridiculous policies or deal with the leadership of the company, and this is something that many folks in multiple industries can identify with to include ours. It is what makes The Office so popular, and this show takes the viewer into the administrative world of a PMC. Check it out. –Matt
