I loved it as a video. It was really well edited and hit the trailer template almost beat-for-beat.

However, I'm not sure I liked it as a trailer.

If you'd like my (hopefully constructive) criticism: The storyline was presented pretty clearly, but I felt it lacked any dramatic weight and felt about as mundane as I'd expect from a movie about a paper company. I know the source material of the TV show is largely the reason behind this, but you also excluded the comedy and absurdity that made the TV show so appealing in the first place. The Office was almost entirely carried by the interpersonal relationships of its characters, which we see very little depiction of in your trailer.

I have to reiterate that I really liked it as a video, as I think most Office fans would, and in a way, it's actually really impressive how different it feels from what I would have expected an Office movie to feel like, yet still flow so naturally. Ultimately I feel the same way about it as I do about "The Story of Sarah & Juan"; worth watching and sharing with friends, but it's not gonna make me go out and buy what you're selling.

Thanks for the feedback. I agree with most of it actually. I decided not to show any of the absurd comedy because I wanted it to feel more like a serious movie. I didn't want it to be a trailer for a season of The Office, I wanted it to look like something completely different, that might exist on its own as a film. I have no doubt that this would be a very boring feature film, but like you said, it works very well as a trailer.
