As the sun rises over Sunset Blvd, the small film company is poised for greatness. The impending multimillion-dollar deal promises to be the turning point in their journey, marking the pinnacle of their growth. The day takes an unexpected turn when a generous gift basket has arrived and waiting for staff to arrive. Brimming with homemade muffins and a congratulatory card each and every staff member can’t resist grabbing one as they start their work day. Little do they know, this seemingly innocent gesture sets in motion a cascade of events that will redefine chaos in their office as they all have just consumed delicious muffins that have been laced with PNC/Acid.
After the staff indulges in these unknown delicious muffins, the office begins their transforms into a canvas of eccentricity as the acid begins to kick in.
The chaos throughout the office of Creativity runs wild, meetings become surreal spectacles, and the once harmonious workspace spirals into delightful pandemonium. The company's leadership navigates the storm, attempting to salvage the deal amidst the unexpected hilarity that ensues. The higher ups try to prepare for their meeting but fail. The entire staff is in complete mayhem, except for one.
With the arrival of the clients, the chaos reaches its peak. What was meant to be a professional environment turns into a theater of the absurd, leaving the clients bewildered and confused. In the midst of the madness, unexpected staff member, the only one who didn’t get a muffin, steps up to salvage the creativity that shine through, turning the once-straightforward deal of negotiations instantly turn into his own multi million dollar film deal.
As the effects of the mysterious muffins wear off, laughter echoes through the office. The film concludes with the signing of the multimillion-dollar deal, marking a triumph for the small film company, but it’s not the film company. It’s the mail room guy who has endured everything a mail room guy can deal with. Being ignored, pushed aside, last on the food chain and rudeness from all staff members. He has the last laugh.
"Muffins" is a comedy-drama that explores the unpredictable nature of success and the transformative power of unexpected events. Through a day of laughter, confusion, and creative resilience, the film showcases that sometimes, the path to success is paved with chaos, and the journey is as remarkable as the destination.
Mary, the Head of Marketing/Distribution, strides in, chatting animatedly on her vintage 1980 Motorola phone.
Anna, the receptionist, greets her with a silent mouthed "Good Morning."
ANNA
(Mouthing)
Good Morning.
Mary nods, mouthing back the greeting.
MARY
(Mouthing)
Good Morning.
Her eyes light up as she notices a basket of muffins on the counter.
MARY
(Mouthing excitedly to Anna)
Muffins! I love muffins!
ANNA
(Mouthing back with a grin)
Right? Who doesn’t?
Just then, Bobby, the Vice President of Creative Development, breezes in and catches the tail end of their silent exchange.
BOBBY
(Mouthing with a grin)
Who doesn’t love muffins?
Without hesitation, Bobby grabs a muffin from the basket and continues on his way to his office, smiling.
