About

While coming to terms with his gay identity, a young business professional is haunted by a recurring dream involving a clementine.

A meditation on stigma, repression, and desire, Business Casual was written, produced, and directed by Matt McKinzie and Zach Cargie in February 2020, while they were pursuing B.A.s in Visual and Media Arts at Emerson College. The project was partially funded by Emerson Independent Video.

Halfway through principal photography, the filmmakers were forced to shut production down due to the onset of Covid-19. As a result, Business Casual is an unfinished film.
