SOUND RECORDIST: JAMES BROWNING

Desk Mates

ROBERT FANTOZZI

Meet Bob and Joe. Bob is a shameless lad with who lives in his own little world. Joe is a self conscious lad who thinks he lives in the real world. Together, they are the Desk Mates. The best of friends stuck working in a boring desk job.


When Bob gets paranoid about a potential crush he is texting calling him 'man', he and Joe start discussing their difference of opinion in how to approach the opposite sex. Bob speaking as a man on the prowl and Joe speaking as a man in a relationship.


The casual conversation does not stay casual, as their fiery opinions lead to an explosive argument. Which in turn leads to absolute chaos. Not only spirally wildly out of control, but tests relationships and friendships.
